According to Israeli military officials, the Israeli military is evaluating whether it successfully killed Hamas senior commander Mohammed Deif in an airstrike in southern Gaza Strip a day ago. An Israeli official said there are reasons to believe that the airstrike achieved its goal, but it may take several days or weeks for the Israeli authorities to confirm whether Deif was killed. Also on Sunday, the Israeli military announced the death of Hamas brigade commander Rafa Salama, who was targeted along with Deif. Currently, Hamas officials deny that Deif was killed and say that he is in good health.
