According to reports in the Gaza Strip, the IDF attempted to assassinate senior Hamas official Ali al-Ammoudi, who is filling in for the Sinwar brothers, this morning (Saturday). The IDF is not responding to the reports, and the IDF Spokesperson's Unit claims there were no Air Force strikes in the Gaza Strip this morning. For now, it is unclear how Israel tried to assassinate him and what his condition is. Al-Ammoudi is a senior member of the Hamas terrorist organization, was released from Israeli prison in the Shalit deal, and is considered one of the close associates of the Sinwar brothers. He was involved in the strategic planning of the Hamas attack that led to the October 7 massacre. In the past week, significant assassination operations continued in the Strip, including the elimination of Izz al-Din Bik, commander of the Hamas Northern Gaza Brigade, and Imad Salim, another senior official. Also eliminated this week were Ammar Mahmoud Muhammad Sharafi and Muhammad Abd al-Aziz Muhammad Nagar. The IDF Spokesperson announced that over the past month, more than 500 targets were struck in Gaza and Lebanon.
