Netanyahu updated on Gaza strike, will hold situational assessment with defense officials – PMO

Minutes after the IDF confirmed that Hamas military chief Muhammad Deif was the target of a strike in south Gaza’s Khan Younis this morning, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office releases a statement saying that the premier “gave a permanent directive to eliminate senior Hamas officials” at the beginning of the war.

“The prime minister was updated on all developments during the night and continues to receive regular updates,” the PMO statement says, adding that Netanyahu will hold a situation assessment with security and military officials to discuss the next developments and steps.
