Israel says it killed Mohammad Odeh, a Hamas Qassam Brigades leader, in Gaza City airstrikes, a day after his death was reported; the statement comes as mourners attend his funeral and Eid al-Adha prayers amid ongoing violence.
The killing of Izz al-Din al-Haddad, head of Hamas's Qassam Brigades, in a Gaza City strike delivers a symbolic blow but is unlikely to cripple Hamas due to its decentralized, self-sufficient units and rapid leadership succession. Haddad helped rebuild capabilities after the October ceasefire, suggesting the group can reorganize within days. The broader ceasefire remains fragile, and the long-term impact on Gaza operations is uncertain as tensions potentially rise.
Israel said it killed Izz al-Din al-Haddad, the head of Hamas’ Qassam Brigades and a key planner of the Oct. 7 attacks, in an airstrike in Gaza, with funerals and casualties reported in Gaza City following the strike.
The military wing of Hamas, known as Qassam Brigades, claims to have killed around 60 Israeli soldiers in an operation in the Gaza Strip. The operation involved detonating explosive devices in a deployment center and engaging in a firefight with Israeli military personnel. The Israeli military has confirmed the death of two soldiers. The escalation in violence comes after a seven-day truce agreement expired, leading to increased aggression from Israel. The ongoing conflict has resulted in a high number of casualties, with over 15,200 people killed and 40,000 wounded in Gaza, predominantly women and children.
An Israeli soldier was killed and three others were injured during a raid into the Gaza Strip by the Israeli Army. The Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, claimed to have pushed Israeli forces back into Israel. The purpose of the raid was to locate Hamas captives and thwart terrorist infrastructure. Israeli forces have been conducting raids across the border, increasing the likelihood of a ground invasion by Israel. The situation on the ground is described as dramatic and unpredictable.
