Hamas is confirming that Israeli airstrikes in Gaza City killed the new leader of Hamas' military wing. The group said in a statement Wednesday that Mohammed Odeh was killed Tuesday along with his wife and two of his children. The attack came less than two weeks after Odeh's predecessor was killed. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Odeh was targeted by the Israeli military and called him “one of the architects” of the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks that led to more than two years of war in Gaza. The strike killed at least five people and injured 12 on the eve of Eid al-Adha, a major Muslim holiday.
