On Thursday, Israel announced that it had killed Hamas’ top military commander, Muhammad Deif, in a strike that took place earlier in July.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) stated that a strike was conducted in Gaza on July 13, targeting two senior Hamas leaders. Deif was described by the IDF as the architect of the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7.

Additionally, Israel reported on Tuesday the killing of Fuad Shukr, a senior Hezbollah commander in Lebanon. Reports emerged on Wednesday that Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh was reportedly assassinated while in Tehran, Iran.
