13 July 2024 al-Mawasi attack
[edit]Casualties
[edit]The PRCS said that its ambulance crews attended to 102 injured patients and recovered 23 bodies after the attack, 20 of the wounded and 21 bodies were transferred to the Red Crescent's al-Quds Field Hospital, and 22 of the injured were transferred to al-Amal Hospital.[1] The Gaza Health Ministry reported that there were at least 90 dead and at least 300 wounded in what it called a "brutal massacre by the occupation".[2][3] According to Hamas spokesperson Abu Zhuri, all those killed were civilians.[4]
According to Medical Aid for Palestinians, the Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis was "overwhelmed" and unable to take in the large numbers of wounded patients.[5] A United Nations official, Scott Anderson, described the aftermath at Nasser Hospital as "some of the most horrific scenes I have seen in my nine months in Gaza".[6] The World Health Organization stated they had dispatched 50 foldable beds and 50 stretchers to increase capacity at the Nasser Medical Complex.[7]
Fate of Deif and Salama
[edit]The IDF confirmed that Salama was killed a day after the strike. Hamas did not confirm the report.[8] On 1 August, the IDF reported that it confirmed Deif was also killed in the strike, along with "other terrorists", after an intelligence assessment.[9][10] Hamas did not confirm or deny the report.[11]
Hamas dismissed the IDF's claims that it had targeted its leaders, labeling them as "false allegations" that aimed to "cover up the scale of the horrific massacre".[12]
According to the Saudi channel Al-Hadath, Rafa Salama was killed in the strike while Deif was seriously wounded.[13] According to both Israeli and Hamas sources, the attack on al-Mawasi impacted the ceasefire negotiations, but they were still ongoing.[14][6]
In early November 2024, according to Asharq Al-Awsat (a London-based Saudi newspaper), Hamas privately acknowledged Mohammed Deif's death and confirmed that contact with him was lost following the strike. Two people, including a courier, were questioned on suspicion of helping Israel locate Deif and Salama.[15] Hamas subsequently released a statement denying the newspaper's claims.[16]
