On Tuesday, Israel conducted an airstrike targeting Mohammed Odeh, the newly appointed head of Hamas' military wing, shortly after the death of his predecessor, Ezzedine Al-Haddad. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz stated that Odeh, who allegedly led Hamas' intelligence during the October 7 attack, was a significant target due to his role in planning operations against Israel. The strike resulted in civilian casualties, with at least one woman killed and over 20 injured in Gaza City. This military action is part of Israel's broader campaign following the October 7 assault, which claimed 1,221 Israeli lives. Concurrently, Israel has expanded its military operations in Lebanon, further intensifying its military pressure across multiple fronts.
