What's the story

The commander of Palestinian Islamic Jihad's Gaza rocket squads, Ali Ghali, was reportedly killed in an Israeli air strike on Thursday morning as the conflict between Palestine and Israel continues.

According to the news outlet Al Jazeera, Ghali and two other terrorists were eliminated in an airstrike on a safehouse in Khan Yunis, where they were allegedly hiding.

Details

Five top Palestinian Islamic Jihad officials killed so far

The death of Ghali marked the fifth senior figure from the Iranian-sponsored Islamic Jihad to lose their life since Israel started striking Gaza early on Tuesday.

In an official statement, the second-biggest armed group in Gaza, after the Hamas Islamists, said, "We will not retreat, and the assassinations will only make us stronger. Our revenge continues."
