COMMENTARY of the day: Muhammad Deif’s death would be a turning point in the war on Hamas
David Horovitz, The Times of Israel
On the morning of October 7, soon after Hamas had launched its devastating invasion and begun its slaughter in southern Israel, Al Jazeera aired an audio recording of Muhammad Deif announcing that this was the beginning of the “Al-Aqsa Flood” against Israel: “I say to our pure mujahideen: This is the day that you make this criminal enemy understand that its time is up. [The Quran says:] ‘Kill them wherever you may find them.’”
Deif had long since achieved near-mythical status among his admirers and supporters, and was Israel’s prime Gaza target. He has symbolized Hamas and its genocidal anti-Israel ideology in Gaza — more so, and for far longer, than Sinwar. https://lnk.sk/fcgn
