Only taken over in May
Gaza: Islamic Jihad military chief killed
According to the Israeli army, the military chief of the terrorist organization Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in the Gaza Strip, Mohammed Abu Sakhil, has been killed. He had only taken office in May after his predecessor had also been killed by the Israeli army.
Islamic Jihad confirmed Abu Sakhil's death to the German Press Agency.
Attack on former school
According to the army, he was killed in an attack on a former school in the north of the Gaza Strip. His son and daughter and three other people were also killed.
The PIJ is considered one of the most radical militant groups in the Middle East. Its members fire rockets from the Gaza Strip at Israel.
However, the organization is considered less powerful than Hamas. The war was triggered by the massacre by Hamas and other groups such as the PIJ in Israel on October 7, 2023, which left 1,200 dead and around 250 displaced.
