The IDF said its fighter jets killed Hamas’ military chief in Gaza – Mohammed Deif – in a strike in Khan Yunis on July 13, in a statement released Thursday.
The Israeli military says one of the reported masterminds of the October 7 attacks, Hamas’ military chief Mohammed Deif, was killed in a strike it carried out in southern Gaza last month. Confirmation of Deif’s death comes a day after Hamas’ political leader, Ismail Haniyeh, was assassinated in the Iranian capital Tehran.
The strike targeting Deif in Khan Younis last month hit a designated humanitarian zone, killing at least 90 Palestinians. Footage from the Al-Mawasi displacement camp showed bodies in the street and destroyed tents. An elusive and powerful figure, Deif is understood to be one of the masterminds behind the October 7 attacks. He led the Palestinian militant group’s armed wing for more than two decades.
