(IsraelNN.com) Reliable but yet unconfirmed sources are reporting that Israeli commandos operating in the Hevron area killed the area Hamas commander Abdullah Kuwasme.

Kuwasme is responsible for dispatching homicide bombers to several attacks, including, ** The 14 bus in Jerusalem earlier this month that claimed 17 lives and left over 100 injured, ** The 18 May French Hill homicide bombing attack on board a number 6 bus. 7 persons were murdered and about 20 injured.

The limited unconfirmed information indicates the elite unit tried to take him into custody and he was shot and killed while attempting to flee.
