Senior ****** commander Rafa Salama ******* in air strike, IDF says

A senior ****** commander was ******* in an air strike in Gaza on Saturday, the ******** military has said.

Khan Younis Brigade commander Rafa Salama ***** in the *******, according to the ******* Defense Forces (IDF).

In a statement, the ******** army said Salama was one of the “masterminds” of the 7 October ******* and a close associate of Mohammed Deif, the top commander of ******’ military wing.

The IDF said that Salama’s ****** “significantly impedes ******’ military capabilities”, while ****** says claims of targeting leaders are “false” and aimed at “justifying” the *******.

The ******-run health ministry in Gaza said on Saturday that *******’s strike on a camp for displaced people in Khan Younis ******* at least 90 Palestinians and injured 289 others.

It is not known whether Deif was *******. The IDF said he was also targeted in the strike.

Deif has been among *******’s most wanted men for decades and is blamed by ******** authorities for the killings of multiple civilians and soldiers.

In a ****** statement reporting Salama’s “elimination”, the IDF and the ******* Security Agency (ISA) said Salama joined ****** in the early 1990s and was appointed to the position of commander of the Khan Younis Brigade under the command of Mohammed Sinwar.

Residents said they witnessed at least five “big warplanes ******** in the middle of Al Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis”.

Most of the injured were sent to Nasser hospital.

However, according to officials and medics, the facility is “no longer able to function” as doctors are “overwhelmed with large numbers of casualties”.

Speaking to Newshour on the BBC World Service, Dr Mohammed Abu Rayya, who is at a hospital dealing with the aftermath of the *******, said the majority of those injured were suffering from multiple shrapnel wounds.

He said it was like being in “*****”, adding that many of the casualties were civilians, notably women and children.

A ****** official, cited by Reuters, called the ******* a “grave escalation” that showed ******* was not interested in reaching a ceasefire agreement.

The ceasefire negotiations being held in Qatar and Egypt ended on Friday without success, the BBC understands.
