Hamas has announced the death of a top commander and member of its Military Council of the al-Qassam Brigades in the West Bank, Farah Hamed, in an Israeli strike in Gaza on Wednesday. Hamed hailed from the town of Silwad, east of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, and had been deported to the Gaza Strip after his release in 2011 as part of the prisoner exchange deal for kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. Palestinian media reports said Hamed was killed “due to the occupation's shelling in Al-Rashid Street in the Sheikh Ajlin area, southwest of Gaza City”.
