The IDF and Shin Bet carried out an attempted strike in Gaza City during the night (Saturday) targeting the terrorist Ali Al-A'amoudi, deputy head of the political bureau of the Hamas terror organization in the Gaza Stri

This is further evidence of the terrorist organization Hamas hiding within the civilian population and cynically using them as human shields and to advance terror plots. The terrorist Al-A’amoudi served as the right-hand man and personal assistant to Yahya Sinwar and was involved in decision-making for the October 7th massacre. In the past, he was involved in the murder of four Israelis in Judea and Samaria in 1993 and in the incident in which Shin Bet coordinator Noam-Menachem Cohen, may he rest in peace, fell in 1994 in Ramallah during operational activity. Today, the terrorist Al-A’amoudi constitutes the most senior figure in Hamas in the Gaza Strip and is directly involved in Hamas’s terror activities and in rebuilding the movement for war. The terrorist was attacked to remove the threat. The attack was carried out from the air, taking steps to minimize harm to civilians as much as possible, including the use of precision munitions. The results of the attack are under review.
