The Israeli military announced that it had assassinated Mohammed Deif, the leader of the armed wing of Hamas, in a Gaza airstrike last month.
On Thursday, Israel's military announced that it had assassinated Mohammed Deif, the head of Hamas' military wing, in an airstrike that occurred in July.
The Israel Defense Forces confirmed on its official X account that Mohammed Deif was eliminated.
The military tried to confirm for weeks whether Deif, the target of the strike in 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.
