At least 91 people were killed in the strike including a five-year-old child. Over nine months of Israeli bombing campaign resulted in mass displacement and destruction.

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducted a strike in Gaza on July 13, 2024 targeting Rafa'a Salameh, commander of Hamas' Khan Younis Brigade. The IDF believed Muhammad Deif, commander of Hamas' military wing and alleged mastermind of the October 7 massacre, was present. Salameh was confirmed dead but Deif's status is uncertain.
In a recent development in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducted a strike in the southern Gaza Strip on July 13, 2024. The strike targeted a compound belonging to Rafa'a Salameh, commander of Hamas's Khan Younis Brigade, with the belief that Muhammad Deif, commander of Hamas's military wing and alleged mastermind of the October 7 massacre, was present. While the IDF announced Salameh's death shortly after obtaining final confirmation, they are still awaiting confirmation on Deif's status. Hamas has gone into “survival mode” following the strike that resulted in over 90 deaths, including a five-year-old child. The IDF believes that their intelligence indicating Deif's presence at the targeted compound was highly accurate and that he was present at the time of the strike. However, they have yet to receive final confirmation on his death.
Former IDF Maj.-Gen. Amos Gilad suggested that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may have prevented strikes on Deif in the past due to deliberations of support for Hamas. This comes as former Maj.-Gen. Gilad discusses the attempted assassination of Hamas commander Muhammad Deif, who has escaped assassination attempts in the past. He criticizes Netanyahu's policy insufficiency and lack of direction for future actions, while emphasizing the importance of addressing hostages in any potential negotiations.
