Hamas confirms death of its military chief Deif
Hamas confirmed the death of its military chief Mohammed Deif on Thursday. "The Al-Qassam Brigades announce (...) the martyrdom of a group of respected fighters and heroic commanders," the armed wing of Hamas announced. Israel's army had already announced the death six months ago.
Israel's government had accused Deif of being one of the masterminds behind Hamas' major attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. At the beginning of August 2024, the Israeli military then announced that it had killed Deif in an attack in the Gaza Strip. Hamas denied the assassination at the time.
Deif was considered one of Israel's most wanted men for almost three decades. In 2015, the US government placed him on a wanted list of "international terrorists". Mohammed Deif worked alongside Yahya al-Sinwar, the former head of Hamas, who was killed in an Israeli attack in mid-October. In November, the International Criminal Court in The Hague issued an arrest warrant for the commander of the brigades.
In videos, Deif was always seen hooded or outlined, photos of him were rare. He is said to have played an important role in the construction of the tunnel system under the Gaza Strip.
