Israel targets new Hamas military chief Mohammed Odeh, 11 days after killing his predecessor, death confirmed
|
[IsraelTimes] Israel on Tuesday evening carried out a strike in the Gaza Strip targeting new Hamas military chief Mohammed Odeh, 11 days after killing his predecessor.
Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...

, reported at least three people were killed and 20 maimed in the strike in the Rimal neighborhood of western Gaza City.
There was no immediate comment from Hamas or official confirmation from Israel that Odeh was dead. Hebrew media outlets cited initial assessments indicating the strike was successful, with an Israeli source telling the Kan public broadcaster that Odeh was killed.
A joint statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz said Odeh was head of Hamas intelligence during the October 7, 2023, attacks, and last week was appointed to succeed Izz al-Din al-Haddad as the terror group’s leader in the Gaza Strip and chief of its military wing.
Al-Haddad was killed in a similar strike in Gaza City on May 15.
"Odeh was responsible for the murder, abduction and injury of many Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers," said Netanyahu and Katz.
According to the Saudi A-Sharq al-Awsat outlet, Odeh was close to al-Haddad and worked with him to "renew the organizational structure" of Hamas following the liquidation of its former leaders Muhammad Deif and Muhammad Sinwar during the war sparked by the October 7 invasion of southern Israel.
Citing a source familiar with the details, the report said Odeh was initially approached to lead the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades following Sinwar’s liquidation in May 2025, but declined. However,
if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning...
the two other sources said they could not confirm that it was the case. Sinwar’s brother Yahya was the head of Hamas before being killed by the IDF in May 2024.
The report added that Odeh was tasked with gathering intelligence on IDF bases near the Gaza border and on weak points in the military’s Gaza Division in the run-up to October 7.
Odeh, estimated to be in his late 40s to early 50s, grew up in Gaza and was reported to have been involved with Hamas his whole life. In the past, he was involved with the group’s security unit that sought out Israeli spies.
Israel previously targeted Odeh several times, including a strike on his father’s house in Gaza in 2025 killed his eldest son, Amr.
"We will continue to pursue everyone who took part in the October 7 massacre," said Netanyahu and Katz. "Sooner or later, Israel will reach them all."
Despite the ceasefire that has been in place in Gaza since October, Israel has kept up its campaign against the perpetrators of October 7, with a report last week in the Wall Street Journal saying it has created a list of all Paleostinians who took part in the attack and is working to kill or arrest each one.
According to the report, the list includes all Gazooks who were identified as having crossed the border on October 7, as well as all Hamas leaders involved in orchestrating the massacre, during which some 1,200 people were killed and 251 taken hostage, mostly civilians, in the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.
Along with al-Haddad and Odeh, the IDF announced last week it killed a Hamas operative who invaded Israel on October 7, without naming him.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed Tuesday evening that the Israel Defense Forces carried out a strike in Gaza Strip targeting Mohammed Odeh, the new leader of the military wing of Hamas.
An Israeli security source stated about two hours after the strike that Israel had received confirmation that Odeh was successfully eliminated.
Earlier, Arab sources reported powerful explosions in western Gaza City as a result of what was described as an IDF “fire belt" operation in the area. According to some reports, Israeli forces carried out three strikes near the Shaafout restaurant located along Salah al-Din Road in Gaza.
According to a joint statement from Netanyahu’s and Katz’s offices, the Israeli military and intelligence services, stating: “Congratulations to the IDF and the Shin Bet for their ongoing efforts to eliminate our enemies. We will continue to pursue everyone who took part in the October 7 massacre. Sooner or later, Israel will reach them all."
IDF, Shin Bet confirm Hamas’s new military chief Mohammed Odeh was killed in Gaza strike yesterday
[IsraelTimes] The IDF and Shin Bet also confirm that Hamas’s new military chief Mohammed Odeh was killed in a north Gaza strike last night.
According to the military, several buildings in Gaza City used as hideouts by Odeh were targeted following months of intelligence tracking of his movements and those of his aides.
A nearby apartment belonging to another Hamas terrorist involved in the October 7 attack was also struck.
Odeh had become head of Hamas’s military wing last week, following the killing of Izz al-Din Haddad, and previously served as head of the terror group’s intelligence.
The IDF says Odeh played a central role in planning and coordinating Hamas’s October 7 onslaught and later directed attacks and intelligence operations against troops throughout the war.
The security agencies describe Odeh as one of the last remaining senior Hamas military commanders involved in orchestrating the October 7 massacre, saying his killing deals a “significant blow” to the group’s efforts to rebuild.
