Hamas defiant after Israeli air strike kills another high profile figure in Gaza

An Israeli air strike has killed Abdel Latif al-Qanoua, a spokesperson for Hamas, in northern Gaza.

He was killed when his tent was targeted in Jabalia refugee camp at dawn on Thursday, Al-Aqsa television reported. Several others were wounded in the attack. 

The Palestinian movement confirmed the death and said that the attack would only strengthen its resistance. 

"The occupation's targeting of the movement's leaders and spokespeople will not break our will, but will only increase our determination to continue on the path of liberation," it said. 

Qanoua is the latest high profile Hamas figure to be killed since Israel resumed the war last week, in what appears to be a targeted assassination campaign.
