Israeli forces reported that the newly appointed chief of Hamas’s armed wing was killed in Gaza strikes the day before. Hamas had not confirmed the death of Mohammad Odeh, though a relative said he died. Israel’s defense minister stated that leaders of the October 7 massacre are marked for death wherever they are. Gaza health officials reported at least seven deaths and additional injuries from strikes on Tuesday. Despite a January 2025 ceasefire deal, Israel carried out sporadic strikes over the past year, citing Hamas’s failure to fully disarm. Israel also expanded operations against targets it attributes to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
"The Israeli military said on Wednesday that the newly appointed chief of Hamas's armed wing had been killed in strikes on Gaza the day before. Hamas has not confirmed that Mohammad Odeh, whose predecessor had also been killed in Gaza days prior, was deceased. However, a relative told Reuters news agency that he had in fact died."
"In a statement on X, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said: "We committed ourselves to eliminating everyone who led the October 7 massacre, and that is what we will do: they are all marked for death, wherever they may be.""
"Gaza health officials said that at least seven people had been killed and several more were wounded in Israeli strikes on Gaza on Tuesday. Despite a January 2025 ceasefire deal, Israel has carried out sporadic strikes in Gaza over the past year, also accusing Hamas of failing to carry out its promise to fully disarm."
"Meanwhile, Israel has expanded its campaign against what it says are Hezbollah targets in Lebanon."
