The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Wednesday that Mohammed Odeh, identified as the new commander of the Hamas military wing, was killed during an operation in northern Gaza. According to reports citing the IDF, the strike occurred in the city of Gaza following what the Israeli army stated was “months of intelligence monitoring and operational tracking.”
Odeh was reportedly responsible for Hamas’s intelligence headquarters prior to assuming the leadership role of the military wing. His appointment followed the earlier death of the previous leader, Izz al-Din al-Haddad, within the group.
The IDF issued a statement detailing the military action, asserting that the operation was designed to eliminate Odeh. The statement claimed that Israeli forces struck “terrorist infrastructure sites in the city of Gaza” that were reportedly utilized by Odeh and other operatives associated with Hamas. Furthermore, the IDF indicated that the operation also included a strike on an apartment within the area.
The announcement provides details regarding the scope and targeting methodology of the Israeli military action against key leadership figures within the militant organization. The reports focus specifically on Odeh’s strategic importance within the group’s armed structure, characterizing the operation as a direct effort to dismantle the command structure of the military wing.
