Israeli Military Reportedly Attempts to Assassinate Hamas Official Ali al-Amoudi

The Israeli military reportedly attempted to assassinate Ali al-Amoudi, a senior Hamas political official described as the movement’s de facto leader in Gaza.

The account identified al-Amoudi as deputy head of Hamas’s political bureau and said he had effectively succeeded Yahya Sinwar.

The reported succession describes al-Amoudi’s practical leadership role, rather than confirming a formal appointment to replace Sinwar.

The brief account did not specify when or where the assassination attempt took place, how it was carried out or whether al-Amoudi was harmed. The outcome remains unclear.
