The airstrike occurred on the anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, which was the deadliest day in Israel's history and led to Israel's devastating offensive in Gaza. In October 2024, Israel killed Hamas leader Sinwa.
(Central News Agency, Gaza City, comprehensive foreign news report on the 3rd) Israel said today that the military launched an air strike on an apartment in the Gaza Strip in an attempt to kill the top leader of Hamas in Gaza. Local officials said the airstrike killed five people, four of whom were women.
Agence France-Presse reported that the pre-dawn air strike coincided with the anniversary of the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023 according to the Jewish calendar. The attack was the deadliest day in Israel's history and was followed by a devastating offensive in Gaza.
The Israeli military stated that the target of this operation was Ali al-Amoudi, who was the "right-hand man" of the slain former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and who also participated in planning the attack on October 7, 2023.
Israel said it was currently confirming whether Amoudi was killed or wounded. The military learned that Amoudi was hiding in an apartment and locked the place, saying it showed that Hamas was using civilians as "human shields."
An Israeli military statement pointed out, "Now Amoudi is Hamas's highest-level figure in the Gaza corridor. He is not only directly involved in Hamas's terrorist activities, but also helps rebuild the organization and prepare for war. In order to eliminate this threat, this terrorist was attacked."
"We have taken measures to reduce harm to civilians, including the use of precision munitions," the military said, stressing that it regretted "any harm to unrelated persons."
An official at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City told AFP that the hospital received five bodies and many injured at dawn today. They were brought to the hospital after an airstrike in the Rimal area of Gaza City.
The hospital stated that the deceased included two women, their daughters, and a man, and that two of the five deceased were Christians.
In October 2024, Israel killed Sinwa in Gaza and regarded this as an important symbolic victory. However, even though the US-brokered ceasefire was announced a year ago, Israel still vowed to continue to eradicate Hamas.
Amoudi is considered Hamas's most senior figure in the Gaza Strip, while Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayaa lives in Qatar and is trying to secure favorable conditions for Hamas through diplomatic channels.
In July, Haya agreed to the U.S.-proposed Hamas disarmament plan. U.S. President Trump hailed it as a major breakthrough at the time, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu believed Hamas was not sincere.
