Israel Targets Top Hamas Commander in Gaza Operation

Israel conducted an operation in the Mawasi area of southern Gaza on Saturday, targeting Mohammed Deif, the elusive military leader of Hamas. Although there was no immediate confirmation of Deif’s death, the strikes resulted in the deaths of at least 90 Palestinians and injuries to 300 others, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Deif, 58, has led Hamas’s Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades for over two decades, maintaining a low public profile with few public appearances and statements.
