The daughter of a senior member of Hamas was killed and her two siblings and mother were wounded in an exchange of fire with Israel Defense Forces, who surrounded the house Saturday morning, Palestinian security forces said.
At the end of the exchange of fire, which killed 14-year-old Mariam Marouf, her father Talat Marouf was arrested, the sources said. The house is in Beit Lahiya, in northern Gaza.
An IDF spokeswoman confirmed that IDF surrounded the house of a Hamas
suspect on Saturday morning.
Armed Palestinians fired from inside the house at the troops while the family was still inside, she said.
Israeli forces also launched two airstrikes in the raid, targeting Palestinian militants who approached the troops, she said.
The family eventually requested to evacuate the house, the IDF spokeswoman said, and the forces agreed. The Hamas operative turned himself in afterward, she said.
She did not say if anyone died in the airstrikes against Palestinian militants.
