Speaking of Assassination Attempts

Israel launched an air strike on Khan Yunis targeting Hamas military chief in Gaza Mohammed Deif, and at least 90 people are dead.

Needless to say, I hope that they got him, but that is not clear at this time:

The Israeli army conducted a strike in Gaza's Khan Yunis on Saturday, targeting Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif and other senior members of the group. The strike killed at least 90 people and wounded 280, according to the Hamas health Ministry. Deif's condition is unknown.

On Saturday evening, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a press conference in Tel Aviv that there is no certainty that Deif was killed.

After the strike, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant held an evaluative meeting with IDF Chief of Staff Herzl Halevi and Shin Bet Director Ronen Bar.

The Israeli army says that Deif was in a compound above the ground, together with Khan Yunis brigade commander Rafa'a Salameh and other Hamas members, and it estimates that they were at least wounded in the attack. Hamas denies that its members were harmed and says the IDF's claims are false and "aimed at covering up the crimes Israel commits."
There is a report from an Italian news source that Salameh was killed and Deif injured.

Once again, breaking news, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Busy news day though.
