An Israeli airstrike in southern Gaza has killed top Hamas political leader Salah al Bardaweel, officials of the militant group have said.
He was a member of the party's political bureau and Palestinian parliament - and often gave media interviews.
In a statement, Hamas said he was "a beacon of political, media, and national activism", and a "symbol of honesty, steadfastness, and sacrifice".
The strike, which took place on Khan Younis, also killed his wife - and several other Palestinians.
