GAZA – Israeli border police killed a senior Hamas commander in the West Bank on Friday, the military said.
It said Wassem Hazem, identified as the commander of Hamas in the volatile city of Jenin, was killed in a car it said contained weapons, ammunition and large quantities of cash.

Two other Hamas gunmen were killed by a drone while trying to escape from the vehicle, it added.

Israel’s large-scale military operation in the West Bank entered a third day on Friday, with both sides reporting at least 16 Palestinians killed.

Israeli armored personnel carriers backed by helicopters and drones pushed into Jenin and Tulkarm on Friday while armored bulldozers ploughed up roads to destroy roadside bombs planted by militant groups.
