Hamas leader Mardawi asserts Deif's safety amid Israeli assassination claims

After the Israeli army announced the killing of Hamas military wing leader Mohammed Deif in a strike on Gaza last month, Hamas stated that only its leadership has the authority to confirm or deny the death of any Al-Qassam Brigades leaders.

In this context, Hamas leader Mahmoud Mardawi confirmed that Deif is fine and is monitoring Israel's claims of his assassination.
