Palestinian gunmen kill senior Hamas member.
GAZA (Reuters) - Unidentified Palestinian gunmen shot dead a senior Hamas activist in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, Palestinian medics and a security source said, in a further escalation of lawlessness in the coastal strip.

They said unknown gunmen shot and killed 25-year old Mohammed Tatar, a senior member of Hamas’s military wing, as he was driving near Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh’s office in Gaza city. No one claimed responsibility for the attack.

Separately on Tuesday masked gunmen in the Khan Younis area of Gaza shot and critically wounded another senior member of Hamas’s military wing and injured a second Hamas member, witnesses said.
