The Israeli military has claimed it targeted Akram al-Ajouri, head of the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group, in a strike in Iran.
“We conducted a strike against Akram al-Ajouri,” a military official told reporters during a briefing, adding that the “senior commander in the Islamic Jihad of Gaza” had been living in Iran and had not been confirmed killed.
The PIJ, an ally of Hamas, took part in its ally’s unprecedented Oct 7, 2023 attack on Israel that sparked the Gaza conflict.
