Israel Defence Forces eliminated Mohammed Odeh in Gaza, the new leader of Hamas’ military wing, Al-Qassam Brigades, and one of the architects of the October 7 massacre.
According to a joint statement issued on Tuesday by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz, Odeh served as head of Hamas intelligence during the October 7 massacre and was appointed approximately one week ago as successor to Ezzedine Al-Haddad, who was eliminated in an IDF strike in the Gaza Strip two weeks ago. Odeh was also responsible for the murder, abduction, and wounding of many Israeli citizens and IDF soldiers.
