== IDF confirmation ==
 
IDF has just officially confirmed that Mohammed Deif was killed two and a half weeks ago in Khan Younis.

:It’s more or less idf saying “we said so”. The evidence that he was in that place, let alone killed is not enough and should be treated as a claim. Hamas officially denies his killing (and note that they did admit haniye’s assassination even before the IDF commented on it, so this denial should be acknowledged) [[User:The Great Mule of Eupatoria|The Great Mule of Eupatoria]] ([[User talk:The Great Mule of Eupatoria|talk]]) 09:07, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

:::That is also what I am trying to say too.

::::"A Hamas spokesperson said Thursday that confirming or denying the death of any of its leaders "is a matter for the leadership" of Hamas’s military wing, the Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades.

:Mohammed deif’s death is disputed, and it’s best we wait until the war ends and see if it is true. As for Marwan Issa, they have not denied his assassination so there is no dispute or challenge to the Israeli claim [[User:The Great Mule of Eupatoria|The Great Mule of Eupatoria]] ([[User talk:The Great Mule of Eupatoria|talk]]) 10:07, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
:Hamas have confirmed only about a dozens deaths of militants and leaders in the whole war, In Gaza it's just Haniyeh's sons and police? Deif is the only one they only they have directly claimed is alive? [[User:FourPi|FourPi]] ([[User talk:FourPi|talk]]) 01:36, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
:'''But''' I do think we should say clearly that it is disputed, in the info box and maybe the last line of the intro (too much to explain in the first line), and that there was an attempt last month, including a short realistic description of the event. Not a long one, we can link the page, and say "see below", but date + 90 killed + IDF and Hamas disagree about whether one of killed was Deif. Without that, people do trust wiki less, and also end up believing it was genuinely a "targeted strike" with "surgical" precision, as the IDF claim.

== Why is Hamas’ claims of him being alive given more weight than the IDF’s assertions he’s dead? ==
 
Hamas is a terrorist group that has nothing to gain by confirming his death. It will only hurt their morale. On the other hand, the IDF’s intelligence confirming Deif was eliminated in the strike seems pretty well supported. For what it’s worth, Hamas hasn’t confirmed Marwan Issa’s death either but that’s still confirmed according to Wikipedia. So why the double standard for Deif?

:::I am not a participant in that sequence, however for example leaders which Hamas did not confirm the assassination of are still listed as killed (most notably Marwan Issa, Hamas did not confirm his death).
:::the reason Mohammad deif’s “assassination” is so controversial is that there are two parties involved already clashing with each other on wether he was killed, the lack of conclusive evidence of this supposed assassination and most controversially the manner of this “assassination” where 90 civilians were killed because Israel dropped several 1-tonne bombs (gladly supplied by America) over areas where civilians were sheltering [[User:The Great Mule of Eupatoria|The Great Mule of Eupatoria]] ([[User talk:The Great Mule of Eupatoria|talk]]) 11:19, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
