The IDF officially confirmed an assassination attempt on Ali al-A'amoudi, deputy chairman of Hamas's political bureau, which occurred yesterday. Al-A'amoudi was reportedly hiding within a civilian population and was considered Yahya Sinwar's right-hand man in decision-making processes, including the October 7th events, and was involved in the murder of four Israelis. He is currently the highest-ranking Hamas figure in the Gaza Strip.

The results of the strike are currently under review. Al-A'amoudi is described as the highest-ranking Hamas figure in the Strip at present.
