Israel killed the newly appointed head of Hamas's Qassam Brigades military wing in a strike on Gaza City, continuing its sustained campaign against the organization's leadership structure.

Israel announced it had killed Mohammed Odeh, the head of Hamas's armed wing (Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades), in Gaza. This marks the fourth commander of the militant group's military faction that Israel has eliminated since the start of the war in October 2023, continuing a systematic campaign against Hamas leadership even as a ceasefire remains in effect.
