00:00Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said there's no absolute certainty that
00:07the second-in-command of Hamas was killed in an airstrike in southern Gaza on Saturday.
00:13Israel said it had targeted Mohammed Daif in the massive strike on al-Mawasi, an area
00:18the Israeli military had declared a safe zone.
00:22Local health officials said at least 90 people, including children, were killed.
00:27Hamas rejected the claim that Daif was in the area at the time of the strike.
00:31But Netanyahu said that cracks were starting to appear in the Hamas leadership as it faced
00:36an increasingly intense Israeli military response.
00:41Israel launched its campaign in Gaza after Hamas militants stormed into southern Israel
00:45and killed some 1,200 people on October 7.
00:50Since then, Israeli ground offensives and bombardments have killed more than 38,000
00:55people in Gaza.
