Israeli strikes kill 6 Gaza fighters, including Hamas spy-catcher - military

Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip have killed six Palestinian fighters, including the southern district Hamas officer in charge of interrogating suspected spies, the military said on Wednesday.

In a statement summarising operations in recent hours, it said the killing of counter-espionage officer Bilal Nofal "significantly impacts the terrorist organisation's capacity to develop and enhance its capabilities". (Writing by Dan Williams; Editing by Kate Holton)
