The IDF announces it killed a Hamas official in charge of supply for the terror group’s military wing, during an airstrike in southern Gaza’s Rafah yesterday.

In a statement, the IDF says Hassan al-Atrash was responsible for the supply and production of weapons for Hamas, as well as smuggling weapons from various countries into the Gaza Strip.

It adds that al-Atrash was also involved in supplying weapons to terrorists in the West Bank.

The IDF publishes footage of the strike.

Palestinian media reported Friday that at least three people were killed in the airstrike.
