Israel has confirmed a strike it launched into Gaza last month killed Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif. You might remember that attack – it hit a compound in the Khan Younis area on 13 July and killed at least 90 people, but nobody knew if Deif was one of them until now… Israel had him in its sights after accusing him of being a key player in the 7 October attack. It comes a day after Hamas’s top political chief, Ismail Haniyeh, was killed in Iran’s capital Tehran – where thousands have showed up for his funeral. The United Nations and the US are trying to de-escalate the rising regional tensions, but PM Anthony Albanese isn’t taking any risks… He says “thousands” of Aussies in Lebanon should get out now, while Foreign Minister Penny Wong says there’s “a real risk that the conflict in the region escalates seriously”.
