IDF Targets Yahya Sinwar's Successor, Hamas Gaza Leader Ali Al-Amoudi, in Strike
The strike came as al-Amoudi, a senior Hamas political figure, was competing for the group’s Gaza leadership after Sinwar’s death.
- On Saturday, the IDF launched an operation in Gaza City targeting Ali al-Amoudi, Hamas's leader in the Gaza Strip, using attack helicopters and tanks.
- Amoudi served nearly 20 years in prison before his 2011 release in the Gilad Schalit prisoner exchange, where he became a close associate of Yahya Sinwar.
- As a member of Hamas's political bureau, Amoudi grew in influence following Sinwar's 2024 death, managing Gaza affairs while competing against Nizar Awadallah for the movement's top position.
- Palestinians reported that five people, including four women, were killed in Saturday morning's building strike in western Gaza City; if reports are accurate, this marks a continuation of the IDF's campaign against Hamas leadership.
- This operation follows recent deaths of senior Hamas figures, including Rafah Brigade commander Nael Abu Obeid, finance department head Mohammed Abu Alwan, and northern Gaza commander Izz al-Din Bik.
