Israel killed a member of the Hamas military council, Bassem Issa, Wednesday 12 May 2021 as the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) continue to hammer the violent terror group.
Israel claimed, and Hamas confirmed, that the IDF had killed Issa and a handful of other senior Hamas militants in an air strike. Hamas’ admission is the first time that the terror group has confirmed the death of any of its officers in the current bout of violence.
The military council on which Bassem sat directs all military action taken by the terror group and is headed by Mohammed Deif. Bassem is the highest-ranking Hamas militant to be killed in Israel since 2014.
