Hamas Military Commander's Death

Hamas has confirmed the death of its senior military commander, Muhammad Dayef, a figure who had led the organization's military wing for over two decades. His death was anticipated following Israel's claims of a previous airstrike back in August, indicating a prolonged struggle within the group to confirm such losses amid ongoing conflict. The delay in the announcement is attributed to the need for absolute confirmation due to the critical nature of Dayef's role and the potential impact on morale among Hamas fighters. With Dayef's leadership and that of other senior commanders now gone, Hamas faces significant challenges in reorganizing its structure and maintaining its ideology in the face of intensified external pressures.
