The Jewish Chronicle magazine has recently published new details about the assassination of Mohammed Deif, the second-in-command of Hamas, by Israel. The magazine reported that undercover "Mossad" agents, disguised as "vegetable sellers and shopkeepers," were able to track Mohammed Deif and relay secret information about his location to the Israeli Air Force.
Tarz Press – According to the British publication Jewish Chronicle, Mossad agents discovered that Deif had recently been neglecting his usual strict security protocols, increasing the likelihood of a successful assassination. The magazine added that Mossad's internal spies, who were primarily Israeli Arabs, were able to gather crucial information, including Deif's whereabouts, after a long period of surveillance. Once the accuracy of the intelligence was confirmed, the plan to assassinate Mohammed Deif, Hamas's second-in-command, was devised in Tel Aviv.
The British publication further noted that, surprisingly, Deif abandoned the stringent security measures he had adhered to for the past 30 years and resided for an extended period in a residential building in western Khan Younis without paying attention to security concerns. Mohammed Deif, a mysterious commander of Hamas, was considered a significant threat by Israel. According to reports, he had survived at least seven assassination attempts by Israel over the past two decades, but he was eventually killed in a targeted Israeli airstrike.
