Palestinian news channels report that the engineer Ihab El-Tzin, who is in charge of the Ministry of Labor in Gaza on behalf of Hamas, was killed in an Israeli attack today (Sunday) in the west of Gaza City. In the past, he served as the spokesman for the Ministry of the Interior.
The report comes amid claims of progress in negotiations for a hostage deal, when Hamas replied in a message it sent to Hezbollah that it was ready for a deal.
