Israeli authorities announced the killing of Mohammed Odeh, the newly appointed commander of Hamas' military wing, in an airstrike in Gaza. This operation occurred less than two weeks after the assassination of his predecessor, Izz al-Din al-Haddad. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) stated that Odeh was responsible for the October 7 attack that resulted in approximately 1,200 deaths and 250 hostages. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office emphasized Odeh's role in the violence against Israeli citizens and IDF soldiers. Despite a US-brokered ceasefire established in October 2025, the IDF continues its military operations in Gaza, which have led to over 72,000 fatalities and 172,000 injuries, as reported by Palestinian health authorities. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz declared that all individuals responsible for the October 7 massacre are 'marked for death.' Palestinian media reported that Odeh died alongside his wife and sons, although Hamas has yet to confirm his death.
