Hamas confirmed on Thursday (Jan 30) the death of its military chief Mohammed Deif.
GAZA CITY - Hamas confirmed on Thursday the death of its military chief Mohammed Deif, accused by Israel of being one of the masterminds behind the Oct 7, 2023 attack and whose killing it announced last year.
"The Al-Qassam Brigades announce to our great people the martyrdom of a group of distinguished fighters and heroic commanders," Abu Obeida, spokesman for Hamas' armed wing, announced in a video statement, naming Mohammed Deif, chief of staff of the Al-Qassam Brigades and Marwan Issa, deputy chief of staff among them.On Aug 1 last year, the Israeli military announced it had killed Deif in an air strike in Gaza the month before.
The military said fighter jets had struck Khan Yunis on Jul 13 and "following an intelligence assessment, it can be confirmed that Mohammed Deif was eliminated in the strike". He was killed along with one of his top commanders, Rafa Salama, the military said. "Deif initiated, planned, and executed the Oct 7 massacre," it added.He was among Israel's most wanted men for nearly three decades and on a US list of "international terrorists" since 2015.In videos, Deif had appeared masked or shown in silhouette, and photos of him were rare.
In January 2024, Israel released a picture of Deif showing him with one eye missing, without specifying when it was taken.In 2014, Israel launched an air strike on Gaza, killing Deif's wife and a seven-month-old son.In May, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court requested a warrant for his arrest, along with Sinwar, for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
