Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of Hamas founder Hassan Yousef, urged Israel to assassinate Hamas leaders even during the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, which began on Friday. Hamas fired thousands of rockets into Israel after Israeli police injured Palestinians amid a riot. Israel returned fire, targeting Hamas military targets. Hamas has reported that at least 230 Palestinians died in the conflict, while at least ten Israelis also died.
Mosab Yousef told
The New York Post that top Hamas leaders like his father likely rode out the recent violence in secure underground bunkers while they used the deaths of their own people to secure propaganda points.
