Israel said on Wednesday that it had killed Mohammed Odeh, the newly appointed commander-in-chief of Hamas' armed wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, in a strike in Gaza, while Hamas has not yet responded.
The Israel Defense Forces and Israel's Shin Bet security agency said in a joint statement that Odeh was killed in an operation in Gaza City of northern Gaza Strip.
The statement described Odeh as the head of Hamas' intelligence headquarters, claiming that he was responsible for planning and coordinating the attacks on Oct 7, 2023.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a social media post that Odeh, whom he described as Hamas' fourth-ranking official, had been killed. "We promised that Hamas will not have military or civilian control over Gaza, and so it will be," Katz said.
Hamas did not immediately confirm or comment on the report. Palestinian media reported that Odeh was killed along with his wife, two sons and daughter in a strike in western Gaza City.
Odeh was appointed about a week ago to succeed Izz al-Din al-Haddad, who was killed in an Israeli strike on May 15.
