This marks the third senior enemy figure neutralized by Israeli forces in just two days. Israel has identified the deceased as Mohammad Deif, the head of Hamas’ military wing. While Israeli authorities have celebrated this as a major victory, Hamas has yet to issue a response regarding the claim.

Following the Beirut operation, Israel’s air force conducted a pre-dawn raid on Wednesday, targeting a residence in Tehran, Iran.

Confusion Surrounds Death of Hamas Military Chief Mohammad Deif
Amidst these operations, Israeli forces have now confirmed that Mohammad Deif, the chief of Hamas’ military wing, was killed in an airstrike in Gaza on July 13.
