Hamas military leader Izz ad-Din al-Haddad was targeted in Israeli strikes in Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a Friday evening joint statement.
Senior defense sources told Walla initial indications suggest the assassination attempt was successful. No official confirmation has been received from the IDF.
Al-Haddad was former Gaza hostage Liri Albag’s captor.
