Lapid to top Hamas terrorist: We will find and kill you
Finance Minister Yair Lapid has some fighting words for Muhammed Deif, the head of Hamas’s militant wing who broadcast a fiery speech Tuesday vowing that Israel’s soldiers would find their deaths in Gaza.
“Deif has been hiding underground in Gaza for weeks and that’s where he will stay,” Lapid says, according to media reports. “That’s because he’s a dead man; sooner or later we will find him and assassinate him.”
Deif, along with Hamas’s other leaders, are thought to have been hiding in protected bunkers under Gaza for several weeks to avoid Israeli bombing campaigns.
