Israeli army kills senior Hamas leader in S. Gaza raid

Gaza, Mar 23 (UNI) Salah al-Bardawil, a senior Hamas leader and member of its political bureau, was killed on Sunday along with his wife in an Israeli airstrike that targeted his tent inside a camp for displaced persons west of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.
Hamas sources said the bombing targeted a gathering of displaced people, resulting in a number of casualties. The sources considered the targeting of al-Bardawil a new escalation in Israeli attacks on the movement's leaders as well as civilians in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas mourned al-Bardawil, saying that he was a prominent political figure who had served as a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council for the Change and Reform Bloc and as one of the movement's official spokespersons.
