“They are going to be tracking down people involved in the attack,” he said. “I expect that Mohammed Deif will be target number one.” Israel will also be hunting Hamas leadership abroad, the analyst said, such as overall leader Yahia Sinwar, who is based in Qatar with his predecessor Khaled Meshaal, subject of a previous Israeli assassination attempt.
