A senior Salafist terrorist has been killed in Gaza.
An Israeli Air Force strike killed 29-year-old Hitam al-Mahsal near a Hamas training base on Tuesday morning. Reportedly, Mahsal was responsible for the rocket attack on Eilat from the Sinai Peninsula on April 17.
Mahsal was deemed an “explosives expert” by the IDF.
This was the first time Israel has targeted a terrorist in Gaza since Operation Pillar of Defence last year.
