Gaza City commander killed in Israeli airstrike, confirms Hamas



Earlier, Israel's internal security agency said that a series of airstrikes had killed Bassem Issa and several other senior Hamas militants. The army released a statement on Wednesday, saying that it carried out a 'complex and first-of-its-kind operation. Those targeted, it said, were a key part of the Hamas General Staff' and considered close to the head of the group's military wing.
