Mohammed Deif, the shadowy Hamas leader who was the target of a major Israeli airstrike in Gaza Saturday, has topped Israel’s most-wanted list for decades.
Israel i Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday night it is unclear whether Deif was killed in the attack that saw the IDF drop five 2,000-pound bombs in the al-Mawasi area, where thousands of displaced Palestinians are living in tents.
It is unclear whether Deif was killed in the attack, which saw the IDF drop five 2,000-pound bombs in the al-Mawasi area.Israel has had Deif, the head of Hamas’ notorious Qasam Brigades military wing, in its crosshairs for decades, having carried out at least seven previous assassination attempts on the elusive leader.
In 2002, Deif took over as the head of the Qassam Brigades after Israel assassinated its previous leader, Saleh Shehada. Deif is rarely been seen in public, with few photos available online of the terror leader, and has largely kept in the shadows to stay alive.
