Israeli air strike kills senior Hamas figure

Hamas vowed revenge today after an Israeli air strike killed its second most senior commander, in the latest Israeli assassination targeting the militant group.

An Israeli aircraft fired two missiles last night at a car carrying Adnan al-Ghoul, a founder and the No. 2 figure of Hamas’ military wing. Al-Ghoul, 46, was killed along with Imad Abbas, a lower-ranking militant, the group said.
