Hamas military chief was killed in July strike, Israel says | BBC News

Israel's military says it has confirmed that Hamas's military chief Mohammed Deif was killed in an air strike in the Gaza Strip last month.
Deif was targeted in the strike on a compound in the Khan Younis area on 13 July. Hamas is yet to confirm his death.
Israel says Deif was one of the figures responsible for planning the 7 October attacks in southern Israel in which 1,200 people were killed and more than 200 taken hostage.
Israel's announcement comes after the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismael Haniyeh, who was killed in Tehran, and senior Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr, who was killed in an Israeli air strike on the Lebanese capital, Beirut.
A statement from the Israeli military said that "following an intelligence assessment, it can be confirmed that Mohammed Deif was eliminated" in the 13 July strike.
Gaza’s Hamas-run health authorities said at the time that the air strike had killed more than 90 people, but denied that Deif was among the dead.

"So, what did the Muslims do for the Jews? Islam saved Jewry. This is an unpopular, discomforting claim in the modern world. But it is a historical truth.... Had Islam not come along, Jewry in the west would have declined to disappearance and Jewry in the east would have become just another oriental cult" The Jewish Chronicle, May 24, 2012 15:56
