Israel’s military and Shin Bet internal security agency said that they had killed Muhammad Abu Sakhil, head of operations for the Islamic Jihad militant group, in an airstrike in the Gaza Strip.
The commander was targeted in “a precise strike” by the Israeli Air Force on Saturday, according to a joint statement. “Abu Sakhil operated in a command and control center embedded within a compound that previously served as the Fahd Al-Sabah School in northern Gaza,” the statement added.
