- Senior Hamas official Ali al-A'amoudi was moderately injured in an Israeli strike on October 3rd.
- The strike targeted an apartment in Gaza City, killing five other Palestinians.
- Al-A'amoudi sustained fractures to his limbs and is recovering in a secure location.
- This confirmation contradicts earlier Hamas reports that he had evacuated the targeted site.
- Al-A'amoudi is a close associate of Yahya Sinwar and a contender for Hamas leadership in Gaza.
A senior Hamas official has confirmed for the first time that Ali al-A'amoudi, a powerful figure in the organization's Gaza leadership, was wounded in an Israeli airstrike targeting him earlier this month. According to Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, al-A'amoudi sustained moderate injuries, including fractures to his limbs, in the October 3rd attack. The strike occurred in a residential apartment in the port area of western Gaza City. The official stated that al-A'amoudi was inside the apartment during the strike but was in a side section, which allowed him to survive. Five Palestinians were killed in the same attack.
This account contradicts earlier reports from Hamas sources, which claimed al-A'amoudi had received intelligence warnings about three hours before the strike and had left the location. The current confirmation asserts he was present in the apartment when it was hit.
Al-A'amoudi effectively manages a significant portion of Hamas's political bureau activities in Gaza and is considered a long-time confidant of Yahya Sinwar. His standing within the organization has grown following the elimination of numerous senior Hamas figures. He is reportedly competing with Nizar Awadallah for leadership of the Hamas political bureau in Gaza. The senior Hamas official added that al-A'amoudi's condition is currently good, and he is receiving medical treatment in a secure location.
