Arab and Palestinian media reported Monday evening that Osama al-Mazini, a member of the Hamas political bureau, has been killed in an Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip.

The IDF Spokesman's Unit later confirmed that Mazini was eliminated, saying in a statement, "The IDF and ISA killed Osama Mazini, head of the Shura Council of the terrorist organization Hamas in the Gaza Strip."

"Mazini was responsible for Hamas prisoners and directed terrorist activities against Israel," he said.

Al-Mazini was a senior member of the terrorist organization who previously handled the Gilad Shalit case when he was held by Hamas and served as a minister in the government operating in Gaza.

Earlier on Monday, the IDF released footage of an airstrike it said killed the head of Hamas's general intelligence service.

Dozens of military command centers and mortar shell posts were destroyed in IDF strikes on Monday.

Also, the operational command center of Ali Qadi, one of the commanders of the Hamas "Nukhba" commando forces, who was killed a few days ago, was hit./ CNA
