The Yisrael Hayom newspaper, citing an unspecified “report,” says the target of the strike in the al-Mawasi area of southern Gaza was Mohammed Deif, the commander of Hamas’s military wing.

There is no confirmation yet.

Meanwhile, Army Radio, citing three defense sources, reports that the target was “very significant” and that the results are not immediately clear.

The IDF has not commented yet on the strike, which according to Palestinian media killed and wounded dozens of people.

Al-Mawasi is part of the Israeli-designated humanitarian zone in Gaza.
