Another Palestinian Islamic Jihad military commander has been killed during an early morning Israeli airstrike on an apartment building in Gaza on May 11, according to officials.
Palestine and Israel both confirmed the death of Ali Hassan Ghali—also known as Abu Muhammad—who was reportedly the head of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s (PIJ) missile unit.
A statement from the Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the PIJ, reads: “Ali Ghali … commander of the rocket launch unit … was assassinated in the south of the Gaza Strip along with other martyrs.”
In a separate statement translated by local media, Israel’s Defense Forces said Ghali had been hiding in a safe house in Khan Younis at the time of the strike along with two other Islamic Jihad operatives, who were also killed in the airstrike….
