A key Hamas commander has been assassinated in an Israeli airstrike in the latest devastating blow to the terrorist group.<\/p>\n

Her husband, Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi, was a founding member and Hamas leader. He was killed by Israel’s Air Force in 2004 by a hellfire missile strike.<\/p>\n

The IDF struck a series of targets overnight, according to reports, including a precision strike that siped out 10 Hamas terrorists including the head of the military branch of the Popular Resistance Committees.<\/p>\n

The Twitter account Israel War Room posted: “Fighter jets struck and eliminated Rafat Harb Hussein Abu Hilal, the head of the military branch of the Popular Resistance Committees in Rafah.”<\/p>\n

The latest blows for Hamas comes days after another top commander for the terrorist group was killed in another Israeli strike.<\/p>\n
