The Israel Defense Forces says it has struck and killed a senior Hamas commander in the Gaza Strip.
The IDF says Muataz Eid, the head of the terror group’s national security southern district, was killed in an airstrike following intelligence efforts by the Shin Bet security agency and Military Intelligence Directorate.
The military says it has struck more than 250 targets throughout the Gaza Strip today, mostly in its north.
The targets have included Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad military headquarters, observation posts and several rocket launching sites, according to the IDF.
