Israel's army says it has targeted the head of Hamas's military wing, Mohammed Deif, during the ongoing strikes on Gaza.
A spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Brig Gen Hidai Zilberman, said Israel had tried to assassinate Deif, the head of the Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades.
Deif, who has been on the Israeli army's most-wanted list for over two decades, has survived repeated attempts on his life over the years, including in the last major conflict in 2014.
Israeli news website Ynet reported that in one of the operations, Deif had been in his bunker when Israel hit the location.
He tends to stay in the background and his whereabouts remain unknown.
Hamas has not confirmed the reports.
