KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel says it has targeted Hamas’ shadowy military commander in a massive strike in southern Gaza that local health officials say killed at least 71 people. It’s not immediately known whether Mohammed Deif was among the dead. Hamas rejected the claim. Israel’s military says it is still verifying the results of Saturday’s strike. Deif is believed by many to be the chief architect of the Oct. 7 attack that killed some 1,200 people in southern Israel and triggered the Israel-Hamas war. His potential killing threatens to derail cease-fire talks and would be seen as a major Israeli victory.
