Israel Defense Forces confirmed on Thursday that the July 13 strike in Khan Younis killed Mohammed Deif, the commander of the terrorist group Hamas’ military wing, who was second only to Yahya Sinwar in the Gaza Strip.
“Deif initiated, planned, and executed the October 7th Massacre, in which 1,200 people were killed in southern Israel and 251 hostages abducted into the Gaza Strip,” Israel National News noted, adding, “Over the years, Deif directed, planned, and carried out numerous terrorist attacks against the State of Israel. Deif operated side-by-side with Yahya Sinwar, and during the war, he commanded Hamas’ terrorist activity in the Gaza Strip by issuing commands and instructions to senior members of Hamas’ Military Wing.”
The strike also killed Rafa’a Salameh, the Commander of Hamas’ Khan Yunis Brigade, as well as other members of the terrorist organization.
