The IDF releases another image showing a fenced-off Hamas compound in the southern Gaza Strip where Mohammed Deif, the commander of Hamas’s military wing, and Rafa’a Salameh, the commander of Hamas’s Khan Younis Brigade were targeted earlier today.
The imagery shows that the compound, within the IDF-designated humanitarian zone, is near tents for displaced Palestinians. The Hamas site is not within a tent camp and is separated by roads and the compound’s fencing.
The IDF is still awaiting intelligence that could confirm the deaths of Deif and Salameh.
