Dozens Killed In Israeli Strike Targeting Hamas Military Chief - Gaza

Palestinians surround the corpse of a dead man in front of the morgue of the Nasser hospital in Khan Yunis on July 13, 2024, following an Israeli attack on July 13, 2024 in Khan Younis, Gaza Strip. An Israeli airstrike killed at least 90 Palestinians in a designated humanitarian zone in Gaza on Saturday, the enclave's health ministry said, in an attack that Israel said targeted Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it remained unclear whether Deif and another Hamas commander had been killed and promised to continue to target Hamas leadership, saying more military pressure on the group would improve chances of a hostage deal, even as three days of ceasefire talks separately halted on Saturday.
