Odeh had held his role for about 11 days, replacing Izz al-Din al-Haddad, who died earlier in May.  <\/p>\n<p>The article says Odeh helped organize the Oct.7 assault and was linked to subsequent attacks, including the deaths of Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Odeh was responsible for the murder,abduction,and injury of many Israeli civilians and soldiers.  <\/p>\n<p>In addition to Israel\u2019s acknowledgment through an IDF post on X, the piece reports that Odeh\u2019s wife and sons were killed in the strike. Israel\u2019s Defense Minister Israel Katz praised what he called a \u201cbrilliant execution\u201d and said Israel is committed to eliminating everyone involved in the Oct. 7 massacre, asserting Hamas will not rule Gaza-civilly or militarily.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/israel\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"219\">Israel<\/a> launched an airstrike in <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gaza\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"217\">Gaza<\/a> on Tuesday night that killed one of the top Hamas military chiefs responsible for planning\u00a0the October 7 attacks against Israel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mohammed Odeh held the top military position for only 11 days, replacing Izz al-Din al-Haddad, who had also died in an Israeli military operation earlier in May.
