The attack also killed Bardaweel’s wife who was praying with him in their tent shelter in Khan Younis.
An Israeli air strike in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis killed Hamas political leader Salah al-Bardaweel on Sunday, Hamas officials said, as residents reported an escalation in the Israeli military campaign that began on Tuesday.
Pro-Hamas media said the air strike killed Bardaweel, who is a member of the group’s political office, and also killed his wife. Israeli officials had no immediate comment.
