The Israel Defense Forces have said they have killed another man in Gaza suspected of masterminding the large-scale attacks carried out by Islamist Hamas.

A statement by the force on Sunday stated that the commander of Hamas units in southern Khan Younis, Billal Al Kedra, was killed in airstrikes on Saturday evening.

Other Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists were also killed, the IDF said.

The latest news came after the IDF said it had killed two other men they suspect of masterminding the Hamas attacks.

The IDF attacked more than 100 Hamas military targets in Zeitoun, Khan Younis, and western Jabalia, it said, hitting operational command centers, military facilities, dozens of launching pads for anti-tank missiles, and observation posts.

Command centres of the Islamic Jihad terrorist organisation were also hit, the IDF said.

Hamas is classified as a terrorist organisation by the EU, the United States and Israel.
