On August 1, according to the Times of Israel, the Israel Defense Forces confirmed that Mohammed Dave, the commander of Hamas' military wing, was killed in an airstrike in the southern Gaza Strip last month. The Israeli military said it had received information confirming his death in the past few hours. On July 13, a compound of Rafa Salameh, commander of the Hamas Khan Younis Brigade, was attacked, and Dave, who was in the compound, was also targeted. A day later, the Israeli military confirmed Salameh's death, but could not confirm Dave's death. Israeli warplanes had been patrolling above the compound for half a day before launching the attack. Once the military confirmed the intelligence of Dave's arrival at the compound, the Israeli warplanes received the order to strike and completed the strike within minutes. < b > Dave, 58, was the mastermind of Hamas' October 7 attack on Israel.
