The Israeli military said on Thursday that it has confirmed that the head of Hamas’s military wing, Mohammed Deif, was killed in an airstrike in Gaza in July.

Israel targeted Deif in a strike on July 13 that hit a compound on the outskirts of the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, but there had been no immediate confirmation he was killed.
