The IDF press service has confirmed the demise of Muhammad Deif, a key figure in the Hamas assault on Israel on October 7, 2023, serving as the head of the group’s military division. The strike on the Gaza sector, where top Hamas officials were believed to be present, was executed on July 13. Despite Israeli military reports, Hamas has not officially acknowledged Deif’s passing.
Israel has been on the hunt for Muhammad Deif since the 1990s, surviving numerous assassination attempts that left him severely wounded. In a 2014 airstrike targeting him, his wife and young children tragically lost their lives. On October 7, 2023, he urged Palestinians and Arab citizens to unite in the assault on Israel.
