The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet confirmed on Saturday that they conducted an attempted strike overnight in Gaza City targeting a senior Hamas official, identified as Ali Al-A'amouri, who serves as the deputy chairman of Hamas's political bureau in the Gaza Strip. The strike occurred while Al-A'amouri was inside a residential building that was being used for terrorist activities.
Al-A'amouri is described as the "strongest man in Gaza" and the personal right-hand man to Yahya Sinwar. He was reportedly involved in decision-making related to the October 7th massacre. In the past, he was implicated 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.
Currently, Al-A'amouri is considered the highest-ranking Hamas figure in Gaza and is directly involved in the organization's terrorist operations and its efforts to rebuild for future warfare. The strike was executed from the air, with precise munitions and measures taken to minimize civilian casualties. The results of the strike are currently under review.
