Israel confirmed on Wednesday that it had killed Mohammed Odeh, the newly appointed head of Hamas's armed wing in Gaza, in a strike on Tuesday. Odeh, who succeeded Ezzedine al-Haddad—killed in an earlier Israeli operation—was described by Israeli officials as a key architect of the October 7, 2023 attacks. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a joint statement congratulating the military and intelligence agencies for the operation, emphasizing their commitment to eliminating all leaders involved in the October 7 massacre. Hamas has not yet officially confirmed Odeh's death, though a relative confirmed his passing to Reuters. The strike also resulted in the deaths of at least three Palestinians, including Odeh's wife and son, and injured over 20 others, according to Gaza health officials. The attack occurred in the Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City, targeting a residential building. Israeli officials stated that Odeh was responsible for planning the October 7 attacks and subsequent operations against Israeli civilians and soldiers. The strike comes amid ongoing tensions, with Israel expanding operations in Lebanon and continuing its campaign against Hamas leadership. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties, with Israeli figures reporting 1,221 deaths from the October 7 attacks and Gaza's health ministry citing over 72,803 Palestinian deaths in retaliation.
