Two senior Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives were killed in an Israeli strike on Syria on Thursday, according to a source from the terror group which has fought against Israel in Gaza alongside Hamas.
The source tells AFP that Abdel Aziz Minawi, a member of PIJ’s political bureau, and the terror group’s foreign relations chief Rasmi Abu Issa were killed in the strike on Qudsaya, in the Damascus area.
The IDF on Thursday confirmed the strikes on several PIJ buildings and command centers, calling them a “significant blow” to the Gaza Strip-based Palestinian terror group and its operatives.
