Israel Kills Hamas Commander in Gaza Air Strike The conflict between Israel and Hamas has reached a boiling point once again, with the Israeli military announcing that it had killed Raed al Attar, a senior Hamas commander, in an air strike on the Gaza Strip.
The strike targeted al Attar's deputy, Muhammad al Deif, who was responsible for Hamas's rocket arsenal.
The current conflict is part of a decades long struggle between Israel and Hamas, with roots dating back to the First Intifada in 1987.
