3 killed in Israeli strike, possibly targeting Deif

Three people — two women and a 2-year-old girl — were killed in an airstrike on a house in Gaza City, Palestinian medical official Ashraf al-Kidra says. The target of the airstrike isn’t immediately known.

However, in Cairo, Moussa Abu Marzouk, a senior Hamas leader, says the dead included the wife and a child of Muhammad Deif, the Islamic militant group’s elusive military chief, who has escaped numerous Israeli assassination attempts in the past. There is no immediate confirmation from Hamas leaders in Gaza.
