The Israeli military announced on Thursday that its fighter jets successfully targeted and killed Hamas’ military chief, Mohammed Deif, in a strike in Khan Younis on July 13. This confirmation comes nearly three weeks after the strike took place, which resulted in the deaths of at least 90 Palestinians in the tent city of Al-Mawasi.
Israeli officials had initially believed that their strike had been successful, but they were unable to confirm Deif's death until now. Deif was known to be one of the key figures behind the Hamas-led attacks into southern Israel on October 7, during which 1,200 people lost their lives and another 250 were abducted.
