More details emerge on third slain commander

While Israel has confirmed the deaths of two high-ranking members of Hamas, the terror organization says a third senior figure, Muhammad Barhum, is killed in the Rafah assassination.

Born in 1969, Barhum was a senior Hamas operative in Rafah responsible for smuggling weapons into Gaza from neighboring Egypt.

He lived in Syria and Libya for several years in order to raise funds for Hamas and transfer them to the Gaza Strip.
