The Israel Defense Forces says it has killed a Hamas commander who “held hostage approximately 1,000 Gazan residents at Rantisi Hospital," APA reports citing The Times of Israel.
In a statement, the IDF says that following intelligence gathered by the Shin Bet and Military Intelligence Directorate, troops of the Givati Brigade directed a fighter jet to strike Ahmed Siam, the commander of Hamas’s Nasser-Radwan company.
Two days ago, the IDF said Siam was preventing some 1,000 Palestinians from evacuating Rantisi Hospital, which is located in northern Gaza.
