The IDF confirms killing Salah al-Bardawil, a member of Hamas’s politburo, in an airstrike in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis last night.

According to the military, Bardawil, who headed the terror group’s planning and development ministry, led Hamas’s strategic and military planning.

His killing is a “blow to the functioning of Hamas’s military and governing capabilities,” the IDF adds.
