A Hamas sniper commander was killed in an Israeli strike in the central Gaza Strip yesterday.

The strike killed Omar Ahmed Abu Qasem, who the military says took part in attacks on troops in the Strip throughout the war.

Recently, Abu Qasem acted to restore Hamas’s capabilities and advance attacks, “in violation of the ceasefire agreement,” the IDF adds.
