The Israeli military said on Sunday that it had killed a local Hamas terrorist commander in Gaza, as both Israel and the Palestinian militant group continue to trade accusations of ceasefire violation.
The post identified the commander as Alaa Al-Hadidi, head of supply in Hamas' production headquarters. It said he was killed in one of the attacks across the strip on Saturday.
Hamas did not release a statement on the commander's reported killing.
The Israeli military carried out airstrikes on Gaza on Saturday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said were in response to the terrorist group sending a fighter into Israeli-controlled territory.
Five senior Hamas members were killed, he said on Saturday. Gaza health authorities reported that at least 20 Palestinians were killed in the Israeli strikes.
