Gaza’s leading Hamas leader has been targeted by the Israeli army on Sunday after nearly a week of deadly rocket attacks and airstrikes from either side.

The army targeted at the house of Yehiyeh Sinwar who’s probably in hiding along with the remainder of the band’s upper echelon, Brig. Gen. Hidai Zilberman, an Israeli military spokesman, said.

Israel has carried out hundreds of airstrikes throughout the land and brought down quite a few high-rise buildings, such as one which placed The Associated Press’ Gaza office.
