Israeli jets strike Hamas commander’s home

Israeli planes bomb the home of Hamas military commander Muhammad Deif in Khan Younis.

Deif has been in hiding for years, and no longer lives in the building.

Bound to a wheelchair after losing his arms and legs in a July 2006 Israeli Air Force strike on a Gaza home where he was hiding — and an eye in a helicopter strike on his car in September 2002 — Deif still officially commands Hamas’s military apparatus from his hiding spots. He is a top Israeli target.
