The Israeli military has claimed that a senior Hamas fighter was killed in a joint operation with the Shin Bet intelligence service, reports Al Jazeera.
In a post on social media, the military said the assistant to Hamas’s Gaza Brigade commander was killed a number of days ago in an attack in Gaza City.
The military claimed the victim — identified as Mahmoud Abu Hasira — was involved in an operation in July 2014 when Hamas fighters raided a fortified structure after infiltrating through a tunnel, killing five Israeli soldiers and wounding a sixth.
