Hamas Commander Survives Assassination Attempt

The commander of Hamas's internal security forces in Gaza, Tawfiq Abu Naim, survived what appears to be an assassination attempt on Friday afternoon as he left a mosque. Most reports state that his car was blown up in an explosion, and other people were also hurt.

He was taken to Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza for treatment.

Abu Naim previously did time in an Israeli prison and was released as part of the Shalit Deal in 2011.
