Israel says it targeted Hamas’ elusive military commander in a massive strike in southern Gaza that local health officials say killed at least 71 people.
Israel said it targeted Hamas’ elusive military commander in a massive strike Saturday in a designated safe zone in southern Gaza that killed at least 71 people, according to local health officials. Hamas immediately rejected the claim that Mohammed Deif was targeted. It was not immediately known whether Deif was among the dead. Israeli officials confirmed that he and a second Hamas commander, Rafa Salama, were the targets.
“This was designated as a safe zone filled with people from the north,” said one displaced Palestinian man who did not give his name. “Children were all martyred here. We collected their pieces with our hands.” He estimated there were seven or eight missiles and asserted that first responders were targeted as well. At the hospital, a baby in a pink shirt, her face covered with sand, cried while receiving first aid. A small boy lay motionless at the other end of the bed, one shoe gone.
