The Times of Israel reports: A member of the Hamas terror group was killed while working on a tunnel in the Gaza Strip, the organization said Wednesday.
The group said Mahmoud Hay al-Safadi, 31, died while at work on a “resistance tunnel.” It did not say how he was killed or where the tunnel was located. Safadi, from Gaza City, was a member of the group’s armed Qassam brigades wing. Hamas is the de facto ruler of Gaza.
