Israel's military on Thursday said it killed the chief of Hamas' military wing, Mohammed Deif, in an airstrike in July.The military said it spent weeks trying to confirm whether Deif, the target of the strike in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, was killed in the blast, while Hamas denied his death. Hamas did not immediately comment on Thursday's IDF announcement when contacted by CNBC.
The October attack set off the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, now in its tenth month, and the Israeli military offensive in the Gaza enclave that local authorities say has killed more than 39,000 people.The IDF announcement comes just one day after the killing of Hamas' political leader, Ismail Haniyeh, in a strike on Tehran. Hamas and Iran say this was carried out by Israel, while the Jewish state has declined to comment on Haniyeh's death.
