IDF Confirms Attack on Most Senior Hamas Figure in Gaza Strip
War17 days ago
The Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet released a detailed dossier on Ali al-Amoudi, identifying him as the leading political authority for Hamas within the enclave, following an overnight air strike on a Gaza City apartment. Military officials described Amoudi as the former right-hand man of Yahya Sinwar who helped plan the October 7 attacks and is currently rebuilding Hamas's capabilities for war. The IDF also linked him to the 1993 murder of four Israelis and the 1994 killing of agent Noam-Menachem Cohen; although official results are under review, Israeli Army Radio reported the assassination attempt appears to have failed.
