The IDF assassinated the commander of Hamas’s West Khan Yunis battalion, Madhat Mubasher, on Thursday night and hit over 250 Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip in the past day, the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said on Friday.
Mubasher took part in sniping attacks and the use of large explosives against IDF soldiers and Israeli towns.
The targets hit by the IDF in Gaza included terrorist tunnels, operational headquarters, and rocket launchers.
Overnight, a Skylark drone crashed in Gaza due to a technical malfunction. There is no fear of information leaking and the incident is being investigated.
