☆ Mastermind of Hamas terror attacks is so secretive that one of the few images linked to him only shows his shadow
  + stars: | 2023-10-12 | by ( Lloyd Lee | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
During the Gaza War in 2014, Deif led Hamas's offensive strategy, the State Department said. Despite his pivotal role in some of Hamas's most notorious attacks, Deif remains an elusive figure. Israeli officials say the Hamas attacks have so far killed more than 1,200 Israelis, according to the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. One Hamas source told Reuters that Deif and Yahya Sinwar, another leader of Hamas in Gaza, made the call to prepare the attack on Israel. Israel, in response, formally declared war on Hamas on Sunday and has since led a nonstop bombardment of the Gaza Strip for the past several days.

Dajabón, Dominican Republic, and Les Cayes, Haiti (CNN) When Pauline Philippe found out she was pregnant with twins, she felt a flash of happiness. "I thought about everything that could happen," Phillippe told CNN. In 2017, he unveiled a four-pronged strategy focused not only on ending impunity, but also on prioritizing victims' rights and dignity. He appointed the UN's first Victims' Rights Advocate and created a "trust fund" to support victims. Hers is the "smallest, newest and poorest" department in the UN, Connors told CNN.

UN flights carrying stacks of cash for humanitarian aid into Kabul had already been suspended, he said.
