A commander of the Hamas military wing in Khan Yunis early Sunday was killed during a "Jihadi mission," the resistance movement reported. Another activist was moderately wounded, it added.
Abd A Salam Abu Mussa, 35, was killed as he tried to launch mortars towards Israeli settlements and military camps in the Gaza Strip. The first round he tried to fire, exploded in his hands and he was killed on the spot, Palestinian sources reported.
In September 2003, some 15 Palestinians were wounded after at least three Israeli missiles struck the home of Abu Musa. But he escaped from the house minutes before the missiles struck. (Albawaba.com)
