However, Hamas has not confirmed the number of fighters killed in the war and has consistently rejected the Israeli military’s claims. The latest update from Israel came after it targeted Qassam Brigades leader Mohammed Deif in a strike on a designated “safe zone” where displaced Palestinians were sheltering. The attack killed at least 90 Palestinians, but Israel has not yet confirmed if Deif was among the casualties.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In response, Hamas has stated that Deif was not killed in the strike. Deif, who has long topped Israel’s most-wanted list, is believed to be paralyzed after surviving multiple assassination attempts in the past. He is considered a key figure in planning attacks that killed scores of Israeli civilians, including suicide bombings.
The killing of Deif would mark a significant victory for Israel and a major psychological blow to Hamas. However, it could also disrupt the ongoing ceasefire talks and widen the gap between the two sides in Cairo. The Israeli government has stated that it will not end the war until it achieves its goals, which include destroying Hamas’ military capabilities.
As the war continues, both sides are engaged in a battle for narrative and public opinion. While Israel claims to have dealt a major blow to Hamas’ leadership, the militant group remains defiant and has not confirmed the extent of its losses.
