IDF killed nearly 100 Palestinian civilians in a terrible attack

(Patria) - The Israeli army carried out airstrikes on the al-Mawasi area in southern Gaza on Saturday. Nearly 100 people were killed, and the target of the attack was Hamas leader Mohammed Deif, which has been known before... However, he was not killed.

Mohammed Deif, commander of Hamas's military wing, and Rafa'a Salameh, commander of Hamas's Khan Younis brigade, were the targets of this airstrike, the IDF confirmed earlier.

However, the IDF does not have information that they were killed in the attack. On the other hand, 90 people were officially killed, while hundreds were wounded.

Deif (58), who has been on Israel's most wanted list since 1995 and has survived multiple assassination attempts, is believed to be the main organizer of the October 7, 2023 attack.

A military official later said that they are "still checking and confirming the results of the attack" and did not deny that it occurred within an area designated by the Israeli army as safe for hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also commented on this attack, threatening that "one way or another, we will reach the top of Hamas".

The Gaza Ministry of Health announced on Saturday that at least 90 Palestinians were killed and 289 wounded in an Israeli attack on a displaced persons camp in Khan Younis. Residents said they witnessed at least five "warplanes bombing the middle of the Al Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis".

Most of the injured were transferred to Nasser Hospital. However, according to officials and medical personnel, the facility "can no longer function" as doctors are "overwhelmed by the large number of casualties".

Unseen in public for years, Deif, known as "the guest," frequently changed locations to avoid Israeli detection. Involved with Hamas from a young age, the former science student organized a series of suicide bombings against Israeli civilians in the 1990s, and then again a decade later, according to The Guardian.

Speculation suggests that Deif may have been incapacitated in one of the numerous Israeli attempts to kill him, and that his wife and young children died in an airstrike in 2014.

Israeli authorities call him a "dead man walking," and there are claims that his real name is Mohammed Diab Ibrahim al-Masri.

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh accused Netanyahu on Saturday of trying to block a ceasefire in the Gaza war through "heinous massacres".
