- Al-A'amoudi is acting head of Hamas in Gaza and potential successor to Sinwar.
- His survival is uncertain, with one source deeming it unlikely.
- The strike occurred amidst other Israeli raids killing five Palestinians.

The Israeli military conducted an airstrike in the Gaza Strip overnight, targeting Ali al-A'amoudi, identified by Israeli media as the acting head of Hamas in Gaza and a potential successor to Yahya Sinwar. Israeli sources reported that al-A'amoudi was inside an apartment when it was targeted. The outcome of the strike and al-A'amoudi's fate remain unclear, though one Israeli source suggested his chances of survival were slim. Al-A'amoudi is considered one of the most prominent remaining Hamas leaders in Gaza, having effectively taken over leadership through the "government emergency committee" after Khalil al-Haya moved to head the movement's political bureau. Previously, al-A'amoudi led Hamas's media department and was released in the Shalit prisoner exchange. He was also reportedly close to Yahya Sinwar during their time in Israeli prisons and after their release. The strike occurred amid reports from Gaza of five Palestinians killed in Israeli raids overnight, including four women. The Israeli military has not yet announced the results of the operation or confirmed al-A'amoudi's death.
