The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducted a strike in Gaza overnight Saturday in an attempt to eliminate Ali al-A'amoudi, who is considered Yahya Sinwar's successor within Hamas. An Israeli source told Kan News that al-A'amoudi was in an apartment that was targeted and that the chances of his survival are slim. Al-A'amoudi is a senior Hamas figure remaining in the Gaza Strip, responsible for the organization's media communications and a close associate of Sinwar. Recent reports in Arab media indicated that Hamas was soon to hold elections for the leadership of its operations in the Strip. This follows the appointment of Khalil al-Haya, previously responsible for Hamas in Gaza, as the head of the terror organization's political bureau.
