Israel Confirms Chief Of Hamas' Military Wing Was Killed In Strike In Gaza

12 weeks ago The Israeli military says it has confirmed that the head of Hamas’ military wing was killed in an airstrike in Gaza in July. The announcement about Mohammed Deif comes a day after the assassination of Hamas' political chief in an airstrike in Iran. The killings have left U.S., Qatari and Egyptian mediators scrambling to salvage talks for a cease-fire deal in Gaza, even as international officials try to avert an all-out regional war. Hamas had no immediate comment on Israel's announcement of Deif's death. The militant group had previously said he survived the airstrike.
