The head of a department in Hamas’s internal security forces in the Gaza Strip was killed in an airstrike on Friday, the military says.
According to the IDF, Hossam Mansour also served in Hamas’s military wing, alongside his role in the terror group’s internal security forces.
The IDF says Mansour “took a significant and continuous part in the preservation and presence of Hamas rule in the Gaza Strip, while undermining Israel’s efforts in the region.”
Mansour was also one of the directors of the UK-based al-Khair foundation, an aid group that IDF charges transferred funds to terror groups in Gaza “under the guise of humanitarian activity.”
According to Hamas media, four people working for al-Khair were killed in the airstrike, reportedly at an aid distribution center in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis.
