According to a report by the Reference News website on August 15, citing the Iranian News TV website, senior members of Hamas have explicitly denied Israel's claim that the organization's military leader Mohammed Deif had been assassinated.

According to reports, Osama Hamdan, Hamas' representative in Lebanon, responded to this in an interview on the 15th. Hamdan said that Dave was "safe and sound."

According to CCTV News, on August 1, local time, the Israeli army confirmed that Dave was killed in the operation on July 13, along with Rafa Salama, commander of the Hamas Khan Yunis Brigade. The Israeli army said that they attacked the Mawasi area west of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza at noon on July 13, and emphasized that the targets of the operation were Dave and Salama. The Gaza Strip Health Department said on the evening of the 13th that the Israeli airstrike on Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip that day killed 90 people, about half of whom were women and children. About 300 people were injured.

In response, Hamdan said that in Hamas' view, Israel's statement is "looking for an excuse for the massacre that day."

According to the information, Dave was one of the founders of the Qassam Brigades, an armed faction of Hamas, in the 1990s and has led the force for more than 20 years. Israel has identified Dave and the new Hamas Political Bureau Chairman Yahya Sinwar as the main planners of Hamas' large-scale raid on Israel on October 7.
