The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on May 26 that two senior Hamas terrorists were killed in its airstrikes on Rafah, which came in response to a barrage of rockets by Hamas that set off sirens across central Israel.

According to the IDF, its aircraft’s strike on a Hamas compound in Rafah killed Yassin Rabia, Hamas chief of staff for the West Bank, and Khaled Nagar, a senior member of the West Bank division.
