Israel claims to have killed Hamas leader Mohammed Deif

Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, who is facing an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court for potential war crimes committed in Gaza, claimed that Mohammad Deif, the commander of Hamas’s military wing, was killed in an Israeli air strike in the southern Gaza Strip last month.

Last month, Israel targeted a refugee camp in a strike, stating that the attack was aimed at Deif.

The Israeli assault killed at least 88 Palestinians and wounded 289 others.
