The sources said that the three fighters were about to launch a makeshift rocket at southern Israel from the outskirt of Beit Lahiya refugee camp when an Israeli drone spotted them and fired one missile at them. Their bodies were torn into parts and were evacuated to Kamal Edwan hospital in the north of the Gaza Strip.

Abu Mujahed, the military spokesman of the PRC confirmed that three members of the brigades, including a senior figure, were killed in an Israeli air raid in northern Gaza. The senior commander was identified as Hayel Al-Qadei.
