Palestinian sources have revealed the names of several Hamas leaders killed in Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip 

The victims are:

*Member of Hamas's Political Bureau, Issam Al-Daalis.

*Abu Obeida al-Jamasi, member of Hamas's political bureau and head of the emergency committee.

*Brigadier General Bahjat Hassan Abu Sultan, head of internal operations in Gaza.

*Mahmoud Abu Watfa, Hamas's Interior Ministry representative.

*Abu Omar Al-Hatta, the justice minister in the Hamas government.

Axios quoted an Israeli official as saying that the military kept the operational plan for striking Gaza highly secret and within a relatively narrow circle to surprise Hamas.

The official added that Hamas had been preparing in recent days to launch attacks against Israel and had taken steps to rearm.

For its part, Hebrew media reported that the Israeli airstrike included the assassination of mid-level military and political leaders in Hamas.
