Hamas Confirms New Military Chief Killed in Israeli Strike
- On Tuesday night, an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City's Rimal neighborhood killed Mohammed Odeh, the military wing chief of Hamas, whom Israeli officials identified as an architect of the October 7, 2023, massacre.
- Odeh's appointment followed the May 15 death of his predecessor, Izz al-Din al-Haddad, as Israeli leaders framed the operation as part of a campaign to eliminate all participants involved in the 2023 attacks.
- Gaza health officials reported the strike killed Odeh, his wife, and children, while Hamas did not officially announce the leadership appointment, though sources acknowledge his long-standing role as senior military intelligence figure.
- Mourners held a funeral procession for the family in Gaza City on Wednesday, as Hezbollah and other groups denounced the strike, while Defense Minister Israel Katz pledged to continue targeting all individuals linked to the October 7 massacre.
- While targeted assassinations weaken Hamas's cohesion, the group's decentralized structure allows for leadership regeneration; this strike marks the fourth time Israel has killed a Hamas military wing chief since the war began.
