A senior Hamas military commander has been assassinated by Israel in Dubai, the Palestinian Islamist group claims.

Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, 50, a founder of the Izz al-Din Qassam Brigades, “died a martyr on 20 January in suspicious circumstances”, a statement said.

Hamas gave no further details, but vowed to “retaliate for this Zionist crime at the appropriate moment”.

An Israeli government spokesman would not comment when asked about the allegation by the Associated Press.

Mr Mabhouh, who had been living in Syria, was suspected of having participated in the abduction and killing of two Israeli soldiers in 1989.

A Hamas political bureau member in Damascus, Izzat al-Rishq, said Mr Mahbouh had died suddenly the day after he arrived in Dubai. Read more…
