The Israeli army said Sunday it had killed the Hamas commander behind one of the attacks on kibbutz communities that triggered retaliatory bombardment and preparations for a ground invasion.
Billal al-Kedra is the latest Hamas commander or official whose death Israel has announced since it began bombing Gaza Strip targets eight days ago in its campaign to crush Hamas.
Media reports said at least five people were killed in their homes in Nirim where community members were besieged for nine hours before the army fought off the Hamas militants. Israel has dropped thousands of munitions on targets in Gaza since the attacks, leaving more than 2,300 dead in the enclave, according to the Hamas-controlled health ministry.
A spokesman said that the military headquarters of the Islamic Jihad group, another Gaza-based militant group which claims to be fighting alongside Hamas, was among targets destroyed.Limited slots only!
