A man described as a Hamas “field commander” died Monday in a “tunnel accident” in Gaza, the terrorist group said in a statement.
The Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ armed wing, said that Abd al-Salah al-Butnaji died while he was working in a tunnel in Gaza. Al-Butnaji, 36, was from the al-Shejaiya neighborhood of Gaza City, the terror group added.
