Hamas arms smuggler killed in drone strike, IDF says

A Hamas operative involved in smuggling arms to the terror group through the Rafah border crossing and via tunnels crossing into Egypt was killed in an airstrike, the military announces.

According to the IDF, Wissam Abu Ishaq was targeted in a drone strike in the southern Gaza Strip yesterday.

It says that he was involved in running weapons to Hamas, and in recent years, smuggled arms through the Rafah Crossing and cross-border underground routes.

Since Israel’s takeover of the Egypt-Gaza border area, military officials say Hamas is no longer able to smuggle weapons into the Strip.

A separate airstrike overnight targeted a rocket launching site in southern Gaza’s Rafah, the military says.

The IDF says fighter jets and other aircraft struck dozens more targets across Gaza in the past day, including booby-trapped buildings, buildings used by terror groups, tunnels, and cells of gunmen.
