The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet security agency conducted an operation targeting Ali al-Ahmoudi, the deputy head of Hamas's political bureau in the Gaza Strip. The strike occurred in Gaza City, hitting an apartment within a residential building that was allegedly used for terrorist activities. The IDF stated that this incident demonstrates Hamas's practice of embedding itself within the civilian population, using residents as human shields.
Al-Ahmoudi was described as a close associate and personal assistant to Yahya Sinwar. He was reportedly involved in decision-making during the October 7th attacks. The IDF also attributed to him responsibility for the 1993 murder of four Israelis in Judea and Samaria, and the 1994 incident in Ramallah where Shin Bet employee Noah-Menachem Cohen was killed during operational work.
According to the IDF, al-Ahmoudi was the highest-ranking Hamas official in Gaza, directly involved in the organization's terrorist operations and efforts to rebuild its forces for continued combat. The strike was aimed at neutralizing an ongoing threat. The operation was carried out via an aerial precision strike, with the military asserting that all necessary measures were taken to minimize civilian casualties.
