In addition, a third person was killed in a strike in Khan Younis, according to the reports.
“The IDF confirms it carried out a strike on Ahmed Wishah, who was a Hamas terrorist,” a military spokesman tells AFP.
The spokesman does not immediately provide evidence to support the claim about Wishah, but says “there will be a statement issued with further details.”
