On Tuesday, Israel announced an airstrike in Gaza that killed Mohammed Odeh, the newly appointed head of Hamas’ military wing. This operation is part of Israel's ongoing campaign against senior Hamas leaders, following the recent killing of Odeh's predecessor, Ezzedine Al-Haddad. The strike targeted the Rimal neighborhood in western Gaza City, resulting in at least three deaths and 20 injuries, according to Gaza’s civil defense agency. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz confirmed that Odeh was specifically targeted due to his alleged role as one of the architects of the October 7 attack on Israel, which resulted in 1,221 fatalities. Reports indicate that Odeh had been involved in reorganizing Hamas leadership after the deaths of several commanders and had gathered intelligence on Israeli military weaknesses. This airstrike is part of Israel's broader military operations against Hamas, which have also extended to Lebanon, targeting both Hamas and Hezbollah leaders. The ongoing conflict has seen significant casualties, with Gaza's health ministry reporting over 72,803 deaths since the escalation began.
