Commander Saeed Attallah Ali and his family were killed in the Zionist bombardment of his house in the Beddawi camp” near the northern city of Tripoli, the first time the area had been hit since the start of the Gaza war nearly a year ago.

Hamas said eighteen of its senior commanders have been killed in recent weeks.
