The Palestinian Resistance Committees (PRC), an allied faction of the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas, said that one of its local leaders was killed by what the terrorist group alleged was an Israeli undercover force near Deir Al-Balah city in the central Gaza Strip, on Monday.
The group said Waseem Abdel-Hadi was killed in what it called a “cowardly and treacherous assassination operation."
The PRC, whose terrorist members joined the Hamas-led October 7 massacre, said Abdel-Hadi had played a role in developing its armed wing. It did not issue any direct threat of retaliation against Israel.
There was no immediate Israeli comment on the reported killing.
The IDF has killed multiple terrorists who crossed the Yellow Line
The Israeli military said in response to a Reuters request for comment that in one incident, the IDF killed a terrorist who crossed the Yellow Line, entering an area of Gaza that is under Israeli control, and planted suspicious objects in the ground adjacent to troops operating in the area.
The IDF additionally said it killed another terrorist who also crossed the Yellow Line on Monday.
