Hamas commander Hatem Alramery who oversaw rocket launches blown up by Israeli warplane as terrorists reject ceasefire
THE IDF has taken out another top Hamas commander in an overnight blitz on Gaza hours after the terror group rejected Israel's ceasefire deal.
Hatem Alramery oversaw rocket launches at Israeli forces for months in the Strip before he was taken out in the warplane strike.
He headed up one of the terror group's cell hidden in Gaza's central refugee camps.
Israel has repeatedly said Hamas terrorists are hiding in the Strip's refugee camps since their attack on October 7 which killed 1,200 people.
The IDF said Alramery was killed when a fleet of their fighter jets dropped targeted airstrikes on the Strip.
They described him as "Head of Hamas' Emergency Bureau in the Central Camps".

He also "served as a Hamas military wing operative in the field of projectile launches within the Maghazi Battalion".
Just days ago Israel took out one of Hamas boss' Yahya Sinwar's henchmen - Marwan Issa.
Issa, dubbed the "Shadow Man", sat at the top of the IDF's most wanted kill list for months.
Issa was the deputy commander of Hamas' military wing and reported directly to Sinwar, the monster dubbed “The Hamas Bin Laden”.
He died alongside another top terror chief - Ghazi Abu Tamaa.
News of the strike comes just hours after Hamas rejected Israel's ceasefire proposal during talks in Cairo on Monday.
Under international pressure to end the six-month stretch of brutal fighting in Gaza, Hamas and Israeli representatives met at the crunch meeting in Egypt.
But instead of announcing a pause in fighting Netanyahu revealed a date has been set for a fresh IDF invasion of Rafah.
The Israeli PM was coming under pressure from all sides as his people rose up in protest on the weekend for a ceasefire and senior ministers threatened mutiny.
Challengers bubbled up from inside government ranks after the IDF almost completely withdrew from southern Gaza on Sunday.
Israel's national security minister Ben-Gvir quickly slammed the decision, calling on Netanyahu to begin a fresh ground assault in Rafah where over 1.4million Palestinians are sheltering.
He suggested Netanyahu would not be able to continue as PM after the decision.
Ben-Gvir raged on X: "If the prime minister decides to end the war without a large-scale offensive in Rafah to defeat Hamas, he will not have a mandate to continue serving as prime minister."
Fellow right-wing finance minister Bezalel Smotrich also said the decision hurts Israel's chances at victory.

He said: “The only forum authorised to make significant decisions is the full [Security] Cabinet, but unfortunately this is not how things are happening.
"We are seeing decisions being made in the smaller [War] Cabinet without approval…[and] under international pressure that is harming the war’s momentum and our interests."
