A senior Hamas official, Razi Hamad, stated that Ali al-Amoudi, the deputy head of the organization's political bureau in Gaza, survived an Israeli strike that occurred on the night of Saturday, October 3. Hamad told Al-Arabiya that reports confirmed al-Amoudi survived the assassination attempt and accused Israel of violating the ceasefire. He also called on the United States to pressure Israel to cease such operations.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had previously confirmed that al-Amoudi was the target of an airstrike in Gaza City. The IDF described him as the highest-ranking Hamas official remaining in Gaza, involved in the group's terrorist activities and rebuilding its capabilities.
Following the strike, the IDF stated that the results were being assessed. Palestinian sources reported that five people were killed in the strike on a residential building in western Gaza City. However, Israeli sources indicated several hours later that the attempt to eliminate al-Amoudi had likely failed.
