The IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) struck a senior Hamas terrorist in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, the military confirmed.

The strike hit Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian media reports cited by Israeli outlets.

Defense Minister Israel Katz indicated in a social media post shortly after the IDF announcement on Saturday night that the target had been killed. The IDF had not yet confirmed his death.

"The IDF continues to eliminate Hamas leaders in Gaza," Katz wrote. "And another one joins his predecessors in the depths of hell."

This is a developing story.
