IDF and Shin Bet Target Senior Hamas Official in Gaza City Strike
Editorial illustration generated by baba News — not a photograph of the event.

The strike occurred while Al-A'amoudi was inside a residential building that was allegedly being used for terrorist activities. The IDF stated that this incident demonstrates Hamas's practice of hiding among civilians and using them as human shields.

According to the IDF, Al-A'amoudi was a close associate of Yahya Sinwar and involved in decision-making for the October 7th attacks. His past activities include alleged involvement in the murder of four Israelis in the West Bank in 1993 and an incident in Ramallah in 1994 where Shin Bet coordinator Noam-Menachem Cohen was killed during an operation. The IDF described Al-A'amoudi as currently the most senior Hamas figure in Gaza, actively involved in the organization's terror operations and its efforts to rebuild for future conflict.

The strike was carried out using precise munitions, with measures taken to minimize civilian casualties. The results of the attack are currently under review.
