The IDF attacked in the Gaza Strip in an attempt to assassinate Muhammad Oudeh, the new leader of Hamas's military wing. In a joint statement by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz, it was reported that Oudeh is one of the architects of the October 7 massacre: "Oudeh served as head of Hamas's intelligence headquarters at the time of the massacre and was appointed about a week ago as the successor to Izz al-Din Kassab, who was killed in an IDF strike in the Gaza Strip about two weeks ago. We will continue to pursue anyone who took part in the October 7 massacre. Sooner or later, Israel will get them all."
