Who is the Hamas commander Mohammed Deif, and why has Israel tried to kill him?
The Israeli strike on a Palestinian camp near Khan Younis was aimed at assassinating Deif, the Hamas leader who directed the October 7, 2023 attacks that triggered the ongoing war in Gaza. Israel has targeted him repeatedly over the years, and Deif is supposed to be without a few limbs and an eye, and in a wheelchair. Why is he so important?
