Israel says it targets new Hamas leader in Gaza as Palestinians report 3 dead
- Israel conducted airstrikes in Gaza City on Eid al-Adha eve, killing at least three people and injuring 12, hospital officials said.
- The strikes targeted Hamas’ new military wing leader, Mohammed Odeh, according to Israel’s leaders.
- Officials linked Odeh to the Oct. 7, 2023 attacks that triggered more than two years of war.
- The strike came as the ceasefire remains fragile after months of renewed violence in Gaza.
- Palestinian health officials say civilians have been among those killed in the fighting.
- The Israeli leadership described Odeh as a key architect of the October 7 attacks.
- Four Israeli soldiers have been killed during this ongoing period of conflict.
- Gaza remains densely displaced, with many living in tents or temporary shelters.
- The ceasefire’s fragility complicates Israel-Hamas dynamics during Eid.
- The attack coincides with Eid al-Adha, a major Muslim holiday observed under war conditions.
