The head of Hamas’ military wing Ahmed al-Jabari has been killed in an Israeli attack on the besieged Gaza Strip.
Jabari, the commander of Izzeddin Qassam Brigades, was killed when his car was hit by an Israeli airstrike on Wednesday.
Israel's Shin Bet domestic intelligence service has claimed responsibility for the attack, saying that it had killed Jabari because of his decade-long anti-Israel activities.
"During a joint operation of the General Security Service (Shin Bet) and the IDF today, Ahmed al-Jabari, the senior commander of the military wing of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, was targeted," a statement from the Shin Bet said.
He is the most senior Hamas official to be killed since an Israeli offensive in Gaza four years ago.
At least nine Palestinians have been killed and over 20 injured in the Israeli operation "Cloud Column."
