The powerful Israeli strike killed dozens in southern Gaza. An Israeli military official said the target was the head of the Hamas military wing, Mohammed Deif. But there was no word on his status.
Palestinians gather near the bodies of their relatives killed in the Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip, at a hospital morgue in Deir al-Balah, on Saturday.
More than 70 Palestinians were killed, many of them civilians, according to witnesses and the Gaza Health Ministry. Many more were wounded. This was the latest attack in a series of ongoing Israeli air operations directed at Hamas, but which have also inflicted heavy civilian casualties.
Shortly after the October attack, a Hamas TV channel released a recording claiming to show Deif."Enough is enough," the figure in the video said. He appeared only as a silhouette.While Sinwar appeared publicly before Oct. 7, Deif has remained out of sight for decades. He was jailed by Israel for a little over a year in 1989-90, but was released. He has run the Hamas military wing since 2002, when his predecessor was killed in an Israeli air strike in Gaza City.
