Internal documents from the terrorist organization Hamas, including a letter from Yahya Sinwar to Mohammed Deif, reveal the group’s preparations for a prolonged underground war. 

In an interview with AP, Hamas official Osama Hamdan addressed the difficulty the terror organization's leadership is having in contacting their leader, Yehya Sinwar. Hamdan also claimed that Mohammad Deif has not been killed.

Hamas's mighty rocket arsenal now lies in tatters, with desperate launches fizzling harmlessly into the sea. Yet Israeli officials warn: a weakened serpent may still have venom in its fangs.

JFeed reveals the secret agents, high-tech surveillance, and split-second decisions behind Israel's game-changing strike.

Sources speaking to Saudi news station al-Arabiya say that a Hamas mail courier may have informed the IDF of Deif's planned meeting with his subordinate Rafa'a Salameh.

In Gaza, there is shock at the rapid pace with which Israel is managing to eliminate Hamas leaders in the Strip, and they acknowledge that this is due to the activity targeting the tunnels: "It was not expected that Israel would launch such a large and prolonged ground operation."

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu conducted a situation assessment on the activities of the Home Front Command and stated, "Israel is in very high readiness for any scenario—both in defence and in offense. We will impose a very heavy price for any act of aggression against us from any front."

With the IDF confirming that Mohammad Deif is dead, the Defense Minister issued a statement explaining what the loss of Gaza's "Bin Laden" means for the terrorist organization.

After surviving 7 assassination attempts, the shadowy and elusive Deif met his death in an Israeli strike 3 weeks ago. 

CIA Director William Burns reported that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is under increasing internal pressure to end the war, release hostages, and agree to a cease-fire.

Middle Eastern researcher and analyst, Adi Cohen, asserts that contrary to popular belief, Yahya Sinwar was never number one in Gaza: "Mohammed Deif is number one."

The assassination of Mohammad Deif and a significant portion of Hamas' command structure has left Sinwar almost isolated not only in Gaza but also in the Arab world: "They are not interested in what happens in Gaza."

Eight days after the strike in Khan Yunis, Hagari confirmed to Srugim that the IDF has confirmation Deif was killed in the strike together with Khan Yunis Brigade Commander Rafa'a Salameh.

In response to a question regarding Deif, IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari noted that Deif was sitting next to Rafa'a Salameh, who was confirmed dead, when the strike happened.

While the death of Mohammad Deif has not yet been confirmed, conversations such as these are evidence of increasing discontent with the war and Hamas.

Hamas sources officially confirmed that Deif was at the site the IDF believed him to be, and that he was hit in the strike. His death has not yet been officially confirmed.

Former Shin Bet Director Ilan Lotan told Reshet Bet Radio that Mohammad Deif's elimination actually positions Israel better for a hostage deal than before.

Yahya Sinwar suffered a severe blow with the assassination of Muhammed Deif, yet he also knows that eliminating senior figures does not destroy a terror organization. However, seeing how Israel encroaches on his territory and annexes the Philadelphia axis, he understands that what once was will never be again.

Hamas has not yet launched rockets in response to the high-profile attack targeting Mohammed Deif, who likely perished along with his deputy.
