IDF: We killed top Qassam-maker
Sources in Gaza say 2 people killed in IAF missile attack on vehicle; IDF: Top Hamas terrorist responsible for manufacturing, launching Qassams into Israel killed in attack
Palestinian sources in Gaza said two people were killed in an Israel Air Force missile strike that targeted a vehicle traveling through Gaza City’s Zaitun neighborhood.
The IDF announced that during the strike a top Hamas terrorist responsible for manufacturing and launching Qassams into Israel was killed.
According to the Palestinians, an aircraft fired at least one missile toward the vehicle. One report said those killed were members of the Mujahadeen Battalion and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, but another said both were members of the Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Islamic Jihad.
The IDF attack came after Defense Minster Amir Peretz instructed the military to halt the artillery fire at the Strip.
