The Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas" denied, in a statement issued on Saturday evening, allegations made by Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper about the fate of the commander-in-chief of Al-Qassam Brigades, Muhammad al-Deif.
The movement said, "There is no truth to what was stated in London-based
Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper, attributed to what it said was a source in the movement, about fate of the Mujahideen commander Muhammad al-Deif - may God protect him, and we renew our call to all media outlets to ensure accuracy, credibility and professionalism."
