Muhammad Hawashin, a Palestinian Islamic Jihad commander in Jenin targeted in an Israeli airstrike in the West Bank city yesterday, has died of his wounds, Palestinian health officials say.
In all, four PIJ operatives were killed in the strike.
Hawashin and Ahmed Barakat, one of the four operatives, were behind attempts to send a suicide bomber into Israel on March 11, and had directed a bombing and shooting attack against troops near the Homesh outpost on March 8, according to the IDF.
