Ayman Nofal, known as Abu Ahmad, was a member of the general military council and commander of the central command in Al-Qassam Brigades.
Confirming his killing, the Israeli military described Nofal as “one of the most dominant figures” in Hamas, according to the AFP news agency.
An army statement described Nofal as the group’s former head of military intelligence and said he had been involved in manufacturing weapons and directing rockets fired at Israel.
