Ali Qadi, a top Hamas fighter who killed multiple civilians, was taken out in an Israeli airstrike. Qadi oversaw a commando team that was part of the attack in Southern Israel last week. The elite Hamas force’s 37-year-old unit leader died on Saturday, according to an IDF confirmation.
IDF in a tweet said, “’During the last day, fighter jets of the Air Force attacked the operational headquarters of the terrorist organization Hamas, from where the organization’s aerial activities were managed. During the attack, Murad Abu Murad, the head of the air formation in Gaza City who took a large part and directed terrorists in the murderous attack on Saturday, was killed.”

Who was Ali Qadi?
Ali Qadi was 37 years old. Israel detained him in 2005 due to his involvement in the kidnapping and killing of civilians. After that, he was freed into the Gaza Strip as part of the prisoner swap with Gilad Shalit in 2011.
Qadi led the ‘Nukhba’ commando group that carried out last Saturday’s devastating strike on Israeli citizens, according to Israel’s Air group. Officials unveiled a black-and-white video purporting to show the destruction of a Hamas stronghold that housed Qadi.
Murad Abu Murad, the head of Hamas’s air force, was eliminated, the IDF revealed earlier today. They claimed he was instrumental in organizing the strikes that took place last Saturday when terrorists used hang gliders to target civilian areas in Israel.
Israel gave the 1.1 million civilians living south of the Gaza Strip just twenty-four hours to escape. Today’s deadline ended at three in the morning BST. The United Nations has called for an extension of this deadline, citing “devastating humanitarian consequences” if it is not extended.
