Hamas admits the death of another major terrorist - even though Israel announced it three weeks ago

Hamas announced on Monday that it had pulled the body of Walid Shamali, who they describe as a leader and an expert in the military manufacturing unit, out of the rubble under a building in the Shuja’iya neighborhood of Gaza.

The interesting part is that Israel announced that they killed him on May 12, along with other major Hamas targets. They described him as Hamas' commander of the Industrial Equipment Directorate of the Production System.

Hamas already had admitted that many leaders were killed in that airstrike, but didn't announce most of their names. It is possible that his body really was pulled out Monday, but it seems more likely that Hamas withheld the news of his death until well after the fighting so it could claim that most of the dead were civilians. 

At any rate, it shows that Israel's intelligence in Gaza is excellent - to know that their airstrike successfully killed him before any official announcement. 

In other news - see above that Hamas uses Caterpillar equipment, even though BDS wants to boycott Caterpillar.
