Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFresh Israeli airstrikes early Wednesday morning have targeted the home of senior Hamas official.
According to a report in Ynet, the air force struck the home of Fathi Hamad, a former Hamas interior minister in the Gaza Strip.
Another as yet unconfirmed report says that Israel also struck the home of Palestinian MP and senior Hamas official Ismail al-Ashqar.
There’s no immediate report of casualties.
The reports came shortly after the Israeli military notified 100,000 residents of the northern Gaza Strip to evacuate their homes by 8 a.m. Wednesday ahead of airstrikes.
