Hamas’s armed wing on Wednesday confirmed that its military chief, Mohammed Odeh, was killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza a day earlier, after Israel had announced his death on Tuesday.
In a statement identifying him as the “Chief of Staff of the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades”, Hamas’s armed wing said Odeh died “on Tuesday evening... in a cowardly assassination operation that resulted in the martyrdom of him, his wife and his children”, as quoted by AFP.
