The deputy commander of Hamas's Sheikh Radwan Battalion, known in the IDF

The deputy commander of Hamas's Sheikh Radwan Battalion, known in the IDF as the al-Furqan Battalion, was killed in an airstrike in the Gaza Strip last week, the military says.

The IDF says the strike on July 24 killed Salah a-Din Zaara, who served as deputy commander of the battalion in Hamas's Gaza City Brigade, and previously headed the battalion's combat support company.

Zaara was responsible for directing and advancing numerous attacks against Israel and IDF troops operating in the Strip, the military says.

Meanwhile, over the weekend, the Israeli Air Force struck over 130 terror targets in the Gaza Strip, according to the IDF.

The strikes come as four IDF divisions continue ground operations across Gaza.
