Qassam member killed in Israeli missile explosion

A member of the Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, died on Friday in the explosion of an Israeli missile that fell in a position for the armed wing north of Gaza Strip during the Israeli aggression but did not explode.

Palestinian sources recalled that the position came under attack several times during the eight days of Israeli military strikes.

The sources said that Mustafa Hijazi died in the blast and seven others were wounded. The martyrdom of Hijazi brings the number of those killed in the Israeli aggression to 178.
