An airstrike in Gaza killed a Hamas commander who led one of last weekend’s massacres of civilians, the Israeli military said. The strike, late on Saturday in southern Gaza, killed Billal Al Kedra, the Hamas commander responsible for the Kibbutz Nirim massacre, the Israel Defense Forces said Sunday. The IDF said it also killed other Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives and reduced their operational capability by striking command centers, military compounds and antitank missile launch sites.
