Local Editor
A Palestinian official who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that a senior Hamas member Kamal Hussein Ghannaja was assassinated in a suburb of the Syrian capital Damascus on Wednesday.
He noted that the Mossad was behind the assassination of the senior Hamas member.
"A group of people entered his home in Qudsaya... where he was liquidated. According to our information, Mossad was behind the assassination," the official said.
Ghannaja was one of the deputies of Mahmud al-Mabhuh, a senior Hamas commander who was killed in a hotel room in Dubai in January 2010. Investigations into the incident suggested that Mossad also had a role in the 2010 killing.
According to Izzat a-Rashak, a member in the Hamas political bureau, anonymous persons killed Kamel Ranaja, in what was termed as a "criminal act."
Rashak announced the killing on Facebook, and stated that Hamas is investigating the killing in order to find out who was behind it. Rashak further stated the Ranaja was a member of Hamas for many years who served his movement and his people, adding that his blood was not spilled in vain.
