The death of Ali Ghali, who was in charge of the militant group's rocket launching force, comes after three other commanders were previously killed in targeted strikes on Gaza.
A fourth Palestinian Islamic Jihad commander has been killed in Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip which have left young children among the dead.
Palestinian media reports say the strikes targeted the top floor of a building in a residential, Qatari-built complex in the southern Gaza Strip, killing at least two people, including the commander. A state-run Egyptian TV station announced that Egypt, a frequent mediator between the sides, had brokered a ceasefire.
