Israel’s Army Radio reported Saturday that the Israel Defense Forces had likely succeeded in killing Hamas’s military leader, Muhammad Deif, along with other senior terrorist leaders in an airstrike in the city of Khan Yunis in Gaza.In a joint IDF and ISA activity based on precise intelligence, the IDF’s Southern Command and the IAF carried out a strike in an area where two senior Hamas terrorists and additional terrorists hid among civilians.
Palestinians search for bodies and survivors in a site hit by an Israeli bombardment on Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, Saturday, July 13, 2024. Israel said it targeted Hamas’ shadowy military commander in a massive strike Saturday in the crowded southern Gaza Strip that killed at least 71 people, according to local health officials. Hamas immediately rejected the claim that Mohammed Deif was in the area.
Deif was reportedly born in Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip in 1965. From the moment he was born in Gaza’s Khan Yunis neighborhood, Deif was raised in an extremist Islamic environment and educated to follow the same ideologies. He initially joined Hamas in 1987 and began rising in the Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades’s chain of command quickly.
Deif has long eluded the IDF, surviving several previous strikes that wounded but did not kill him. Reports on Saturday, however, suggested a high degree of confidence that this time, the IDF had succeeded in killing Deif. Netanyahu reminded Israelis that he had promised after October 7 that members of Hamas were dead men walking.
