An Israeli attack on the south of the Gaza Strip on Saturday killed 71 people and injured scores, the Health Ministry in Gaza informed. An Israeli official said the head of Hamas’ military wing, Mohammed Deif, and second Hamas commander, Rafa Salama, were targets of the strike at Khan Younis.
Deif is believed by many to be the chief architect of the October 7. He has topped Israel’s most-wanted list for years and is believed to have escaped multiple Israeli assassination attempts in the past. The Gaza Health Ministry said at least 289 others were injured in this attack and that many of the injured and dead were taken to nearby Nasser Hospital.
