Israeli strike kills Hamas finance official
[Al Ahram] Israel said Sunday it had killed a top Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, financial official in an air strike on Gazoo City, as it continued a policy of targeted liquidations against the Paleostinian group.
Mohammed al-Ghul "was an important Hamas actor who dealt with transferring funds to build terror infrastructure in Gazoo, such as tunnels, and was a key target," Israeli army front man Major Arye Shalicar said.
The air strike targeted a car in Gazoo City, killing Ghul, the army said.
Paleostinian medics in Gazoo confirmed his death.
On Thursday, Israel's military killed three senior members of Hamas's armed wing the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, just days after trying to kill its military chief Mohammed Deif.
A strike that levelled a six-storey building killed Deif's wife and two of his children.
Several other air strikes brought Sunday's corpse count to at least 14 people, including six children.
