The Israeli military says it has killed 14,000 fighters from the group’s armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, during the war.

It said they included six fighters with the rank of brigade commander, 20 battalion commanders and 150 company commanders.

Hamas has not confirmed the number of fighters killed in the war but has regularly rejected the Israeli military’s claims.

• The latest update was made after Israel said it targeted Qassam Brigades leader Mohammed Deif in a strike on a designated “safe zone” where displaced Palestinians were sheltering. At least 90 Palestinians were killed in the attack.

Israel said it has not yet confirmed if Deif was killed in the strike while Hamas has said he was not killed.
