Ayman Nofal was reportedly involved in manufacturing weapons and directing rockets fired at Israel.
Ayman Nofal was a member of the general military council and the commander of the central command in the Al-Qassam Brigades.
Confirming his killing, the Israeli military described Nofal as “one of the most dominant figures” in Hamas. Nofal was also “involved in planning the abduction of Gilad Shalit”, a soldier released in 2011 after being held for more than five years, the army said.
