Israeli forces on Wednesday confirmed the killing of Hamas military chief Mohammed Odeh, the former head of the terror group’s intelligence apparatus and one of the architects behind the October 7 massacre, just 11 days after Israel eliminated his predecessor.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that every participant in the attack is now ‘marked for death. ’ Katz confirmed Odeh’s elimination after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the previous night that the Jewish state had targeted the Hamas commander in a strike carried out by the Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet following months of intelligence monitoring of his movements and those of his operatives.
The IDF and Shin Bet described Odeh as one of the last surviving senior Hamas commanders directly involved in orchestrating the October 7 massacre, during which Hamas terrorists murdered roughly 1,200 people and abducted 251 others, mostly civilians, in the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Israeli forces struck several buildings in the heart of Gaza City that Odeh allegedly used as hideouts after months of intelligence tracking tied him and members of his operational network to the sites.
Israeli forces simultaneously struck a nearby apartment belonging to another Hamas terrorist who infiltrated Israel during the October 7 massacre and was considered part of Odeh’s circle of operatives. Before assuming the top military post, Odeh headed Hamas’s intelligence headquarters and was considered one of the central planners behind the October 7 massacre, overseeing intelligence collection and operational coordination tied to the attack and subsequent assaults against Israeli troops throughout the war.
Israeli officials have increasingly framed the campaign against Hamas leadership as part of a broader long-term operation targeting every individual connected to the October 7 atrocities. Israeli intelligence agencies compiled a database containing thousands of names tied to the massacre using facial recognition technology, intercepted communications, cellphone location data, social media footage, and interrogations of captured terrorists. Israeli officials involved in the operation reportedly insisted that ‘no participant is deemed too insignificant’ to escape accountability.
Israeli forces had also struck two additional senior Hamas commanders in northern Gaza, identified as northern Gaza brigade commander Izz al-Din Bik and Imad Aslim, deputy commander of the Gaza City Brigade and commander of the Zeitoun Battalion, as Israel continued its campaign against the terror group’s remaining military leadership.
