IDF Strikes Hamas Military Leader Mohammed Deif, Fate Unclear

Commander of Hamas's Khan Yunis Brigade, Rafa Salama, was likely killed in the same strike, and no hostages were killed.

The IDF targeted Hamas’s supreme military commander Mohammad Deif on Saturday in the al-Muwasi humanitarian zone near Khan Yunis in southern Gaza. He has been one of the terrorist group’s leading military figures for years.

A senior source noted that there was a high likelihood that Deif was killed in the strike, but that confirmation was, as of yet, forthcoming, Israeli state broadcaster KAN reported.

The location of the strike was an open area surrounded by trees, several buildings, and sheds.
