The Israeli military announced Thursday that it had "eliminated" Rawhi Mushtaha, the head of the Hamas government in Gaza, along with two senior security officials, during airstrikes carried out three months ago."Mushtaha was one of Hamas' most senior operatives and had a direct impact on decisions relating to Hamas' force deployment," said the military in a statement. Mushtaha was described as a close associate of Yahya Sinwar, the top Hamas leader, who is believed to have helped mastermind the October 7 attack on Israel that sparked the ongoing war.
