Hamas leader Osama Hamdan denied on Thursday that the movement's military wing leader, Mohammed Deif, had been killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza, despite Israeli assurances.
Osama Hamdan said that the leader of the Qassam Brigades, Mohammed Deif, is alive, according to the Associated Press.
Hamdan accused Israel of intensifying its attacks on Hamas leaders after the movement agreed in principle to the latest ceasefire proposal.
It is noteworthy that Mohammed Deif was subjected to seven failed assassination attempts, and as a result he was described as the "master of camouflage" and "the man with nine lives."
Israel had tried to assassinate Mohammed Deif in an attack targeting the Al-Hawl camp in the Al-Mawasi area in Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip more than two weeks ago.
Yesterday, Wednesday, an Israeli newspaper revealed new details about the assassination of Mohammed Deif.
The London-based Jewish Chronicle said Israeli soldiers disguised as beggars and vegetable vendors were key to the operation in which Israel assassinated Mohammed Deif.
Communication with Sinwar
On the other hand, Osama Hamdan acknowledged "some difficulties" and delays in communicating with the head of Hamas's political bureau, Yahya Sinwar.
The Hamas leader indicated that these difficulties "do not constitute a major obstacle to negotiations."
