A senior Hamas official, Ali al-A'amoudi, who serves as the de facto head of the terror group's political bureau in the Gaza Strip, narrowly escaped an assassination attempt earlier this month. The incident, reported by Saudi newspaper "Asharq Al-Awsat" citing Hamas sources, occurred when al-A'amoudi evacuated the building he was in just three hours before it was attacked and destroyed.
According to the sources, two operatives from the air array of Hamas's military wing noticed intense activity from two Israeli drones hovering over the building and the marina area in western Gaza City. These drones are known to the organization for their advanced intelligence-gathering capabilities, reportedly utilizing artificial intelligence to identify targets.
The operatives monitored the drones for several hours, concluding that their movements indicated preparations for an imminent assassination attempt on a high-ranking figure in the area. They immediately relayed this assessment to Hamas security officials responsible for protecting senior members, including al-A'amoudi's security detail.
Upon receiving the rapid intelligence, al-A'amoudi's security chief informed him of the situation. Although there was no definitive confirmation that al-A'amoudi himself was the intended target, the senior official decided not to take any chances. He treated the warning with utmost seriousness, immediately left his apartment, and moved to an alternative location, thereby surviving the subsequent bombing.
