More details about slain Hamas rocket chief
The Hamas commander in charge of the group’s rocket launches, who was killed a short time ago in a strike in the northern Gaza Strip, is Ayman Siam, a leading Hamas military figure in Gaza and a key decision-maker, says Army Radio, stressing that this information is still unconfirmed.
“If true, it’s a very heavy blow” to Hamas, says Army Radio, as it predicts a consequent upsurge in rocket attacks on Israel.
