Israel said Khalil Muhajez, deputy commander of the Shati Battalion, and Khalil Tatri, deputy commander of the Sheikh Radwan Battalion, were also killed.
It comes after one of the leaders of the terror group’s security forces, Jehad Mheisen, was also killed in Gaza.
The top commander was his family in the neighbourhood of Sheikh Radwan, a Hamas-aligned news agency said.
His death came just days after another Hamas commander was killed in an Israeli airstrike.
Ayman Nofal, who was in charge of the Central Gaza area in the armed wing Izz el-Deen Al-Qassam Brigades, was the most high-profile Hamas militant to be assassinated so far.
