Hamas denies Israeli claims of Mohammad al-Deif’s death
Hamas has denied Israeli claims that Mohammad al-Deif, the military leader of the group, was killed in a recent airstrike.
Over two weeks ago, the Israeli military announced targeting al-Deif in an airstrike on the Mawasi area near Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
On Thursday, the Israeli army confirmed al-Deif's death, stating the strike resulted in hundreds of displaced Palestinians being killed and injured. The Jerusalem Post had earlier reported on July 13 that it was unclear whether al-Deif was injured, with his condition remaining unknown.
Hamas leader Mahmoud Mardawi refuted these claims, stating, “Al-Deif is fine and he hears the occupation's allegations regarding his assassination.” Similarly, Hamas leader Sami Abu Zuhri dismissed the reports as "nonsense."
Mohammad al-Deif, known for his role in orchestrating operations such as Al-Aqsa Flood, is a highly elusive figure. He has rarely spoken publicly, never appeared in public, and has survived at least seven Israeli assassination attempts. (ILKHA)
