Second Islamic Jihad commander targeted in Damascus

Senior Islamic Jihad officer Akram al-Ajouri was the target of an attack on a building near the Lebanese embassy on the outskirts of Damascus early Tuesday, at the same time as the  IDF’s Gaza strike killed Baha Abu Al-Atta in the Gaza Strip. Al-Ajouri was variously said to have been killed or escaped from the explosion that killed his wife and daughter in a building associated with Hizballah. Al Ajouri was the liaison officer between Al-Atta in Gaza and the Iranian Al-Qods Brigades.
