Qassam Brigades' chief Deif 'isn't alive': Israeli minister

The deputy foreign minister of Israel has speculated that Qassam Brigades' leader Mohammed Deif is dead, after an assasination attack earlier in the week left his wife and daughter dead.

“My assessment is that he isn’t alive, because i don’t see any indication that he emerged from the debris [of his bombed house] alive,” Tzachi Hanegbi told Israel Radio.

Hanegbi accepted that currently it's still "a matter of guessing," and that Deif, who has survived multiple assasination attempts in the past, "has many lives."
