Israeli defence forces have announced that they have killed the Hamas commander who led last weekend’s deadly terrorist attack on communities bordering the Gaza Strip.

Israel’s air force announced that Ali Qadhi was eliminated with the help of intelligence agency Shin Bet in an air strike on a Hamas base. It also released a black and white aerial video of a massive explosion engulfing the compound where he was reportedly located.

Qadhi had previously been arrested in 2005 for the abduction and killing of Israelis, but had been released as part of the Gilad Shalit hostage release deal.

The deal was brokered in 2011 between Israel and Hamas to release Gilad Shalit – an Israeli soldier kidnapped and held captive for five years – in exchange for 1,027 mainly Palestinian and Arab-Israeli prisoners.

Earlier on Saturday, the Israel Defence Forces said it had killed the leader of Hamas’ air forces in an overnight air strike in the Gaza Strip.

Murad Abu Murad was killed in a bomb targeting the headquarters of the terrorist group’s aerial activities, reported the Times of Israel, citing the IDF.

According to the Israeli security forces, Abu Murad “took a big part in directing terrorists during the massacre” last weekend, which began with a barrage of missiles and attackers who entered Israel from the air on hang gliders just after dawn.

The Israeli Air Force confirmed the strike on Twitter, saying: “During the last day, fighter jets of the air force attacked the operational headquarters of the terrorist organisation Hamas, from where the organisation’s aerial activities were managed.

 

“During the attack, Murad Abu Murad, the head of the air formation in Gaza City who took a large part and directed terrorists in the murderous attack on Saturday, was killed.”
