Israel says Hamas military leader Deif killed in July
Stockholm, August 1 (Hibya) - Mohammed Deif, the leader of Hamas' military wing, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza last month, the Israeli military announced on Thursday.
“The IDF (Israel Defence Forces) announced that IDF warplanes struck the Khan Younis area on July 13, 2024, and that after an intelligence assessment, it could be confirmed that Mohammed Deif was eliminated in the strike.”
Deif is believed to have been one of the masterminds of Hamas' October 7 attack on southern Israel that triggered the Gaza war, now in its 300th day.
One of Hamas's most dominant figures, Deif rose through the group's ranks over 30 years, developing a network of tunnels and bomb-making expertise.
For decades, Deif has been at the top of Israel's most wanted list and is held personally responsible for the deaths of dozens of Israelis in suicide bombings.
