The IDF on Saturday afternoon confirmed that Israeli security forces attempted to eliminate Hamas leader Mohammed Deif and the Khan Yunis Brigade commander.
"In a joint IDF and ISA activity based on precise intelligence, the IDF's Southern Command and the IAF carried out a strike in an area where two senior Hamas terrorists and additional terrorists hid among civilians," the IDF confirmed.
"The location of the strike was an open area surrounded by trees, several buildings, and sheds."
Earlier, the IDF had said that the strike was in a "defined terrorist area" and that it was "waiting for the results of the attack." The IDF does not believe that there were hostages in the area around Deif.
Senior sources in the security echelon told the political echelon the results of their situational assessment, namely, that Deif was certainly hit in the strike, but that final confirmation may "take time." They also said that the commander of the Khan Yunis Brigade was definitely killed.
The IDF struck Deif and Rafaa Salama, architects of the October 7 massacre, along with additional terrorists in western Khan Yunis. The attack was carried out using five heavy bombs, each weighing one ton, which buried the entire site underground.
Meanwhile, Hamas has claimed that many dozens of civilians were killed in the attack. Hamas' "Health Ministry" in Gaza claimed Saturday afternoon that at least 71 Gazans were killed in southern Gaza, and another 289 were injured.
