Two top terrorists were killed in Gaza City Friday, after IDF aircraft targeted a vehicle there.One of the dead is Zuhir al-Qaisi, the secretary-general of the Popular Resistance Committees terror group. The second terrorist killed in the strike is Ahmad al-Khanini, a senior PRC member freed during the Shalit prisoner exchange. A third Palestinian was seriously injured in the strike, which targeted a vehicle traveling in western Gaza City.
Al-Khanini headed a PRC terror cell in the Nablus region. His cell prepared two explosive belts, one of which was seized in the possession of a terrorist planning an attack in Jerusalem in 2006. After his release in the Shalit deal in October of 2011, al-Khanini was expelled to the Gaza Strip.
