The Israel Defense Forces said on March 23 that it had killed Salah Bardawil, head of the Hamas terror group’s planning and development office, in the southern Gaza Strip.

Hamas confirmed the killing and said that at least 26 Palestinians and a senior Hamas political leader were killed overnight from Israeli strikes across the southern Gaza Strip.
