Israel assassinates Hamas commanders in sting operation
Tehran (KNA) - Israeli special forces infiltrate the Gaza Strip, assassinating a top Hamas commander, while subsequent Israeli airstrikes kill five others, including another commander with the Palestinian resistance movement.
On Sunday, the group said in a statement that the forces had made their way into the coastal sliver using a civilian vehicle.
The Israeli occupants assassinated Nour Baraka, a senior commander with Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' military wing, in a drive-by shooting near the city of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza, it added.
The group defined the exact place where the targeted killing took place as "the area of the Shahid Ismail Abu Shanab mosque, three kilometers (1.8 miles) east of Khan Yunis."
