Lt. Col. (Res.) Alon Eviatar recently spoke about the assassination attempt on senior Hamas leader Mohammed Deif, noting his revered status among Palestinians.
Although the recordings do not prove Deif’s death, they do show the spirit of some Gazans who have lost patience with Sinwar’s decisions.
There is already certainty in the IDF that several of Deif's bodyguards were killed in the assassination, with the assumption being that if his bodyguards were there, he was probably also there.
Maj.-Gen. (res.) Amos Gilad discussed the attempted assassination of Hamas commander Muhammad Deif and hints at past interventions by Netanyahu on 103FM radio.
The death of Mohammad Deif will change the course of the current war and begin the steps to a complete defeat of Hamas and the “day after” in Gaza.
Hamas used UNRWA HQ in Gaza for recruiting and storing weapons, showing a pattern of using UN sites, raising concerns about the UN's response.
The IDF and security officials have run the risk of bringing to public light an extremely sensitive strike without any confirmation of whether they have succeeded or not.
The strike targeting Mohammad Deif highlights the potential implications to Hamas’s leadership, as well as the IDF’s gains, underscoring the complexities of the ongoing operations against Hamas.
Halevi, while delivering the situational assessment, commented on the strike that killed Rafa’a Salameh, commander of the Khan Yunis Brigade, which was confirmed earlier on Sunday.
Israel views Hamas’s denials as covering up how embarrassed they were at a crucial point in the hostage-ceasefire negotiations.
