Hamas did not comment on Odeh.<\/p>\n<p>At least five people were killed and 12 injured in Tuesday\u2019s strike on a market, including Odeh, his wife, son and daughter, and another woman, local hospitals said.<\/p>\n<p>Thousands of people gathered Wednesday for the joint funeral of Odeh\u2019s family in Gaza City. Mourners covered the four bodies with green Hamas flags and marched from a mosque through the city, chanting and firing shots in the air. Some carried posters with Odeh\u2019s poster emblazoned with the words \u201cone of the chiefs of staffs of the Qassam Brigades,\u201d referring to Hamas\u2019 military wing.<\/p>\n<p>Katz called him \u201cone of the architects\u201d of the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks that triggered over two years of war in Gaza and said it was the fourth time Israel has killed the head of Hamas\u2019 military wing since that massacre. Izz al-Din al-Haddad, the previous head, was killed on May 16.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe pledged to eliminate everyone who led the October 7 massacre and this is what we will do: they are all bound to die, everywhere,\u201d Katz wrote on X on Wednesday. \u201cWe pledged that Hamas will not hold civilian or military rule.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is preparing for elections in the fall, also threatened that Israel will target everyone involved in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack.<\/p>\n<p>The attack came as Muslims prepared for Eid al-Adha.<\/p>\n<p>The holiday once again is subdued this year in Gaza, where the vast majority of people remain displaced and live in tents or temporary shelters after a devastating war. Around 90 percent of Gaza\u2019s more than 2 million people have lost their homes, according to U.N. estimates, with most of them now sheltering in huge tent camps with rat infestations and pools of sewage. They are dependent on aid to survive.<\/p>\n<p>Eid al-Adha, or \u201cFeast of Sacrifice,\u201d is an Islamic holiday celebrated by millions of Muslims across the globe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not Eid\u2026 we\u2019re dead,\u201d said Mahmoud Saqer, a displaced man from Khan Younis, who described people as being distressed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >ongoing human suffering<\/a> and killings in the territory.<\/p>\n<p>In Khan Younis and Gaza City, amid destroyed buildings, including a ruined mosque, people gathered for Eid prayers with few signs of celebration beyond a few clusters of balloons lining one street. Tahrir al-Khatib said the joy that accompanies Eid has been silenced in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no Eid. My children were killed. Eid is only for the people who lost no one,\u201d said Ayda Al-Banna, a displaced women from Gaza City, who prayed Eid prayers with her granddaughter.<\/p>\n<p>A ceasefire reached between Israel and Hamas in October remains fragile. Israeli attacks have killed more than 880 Palestinians since the ceasefire took effect. Israel says its attacks are in response to violations by Hamas or threats to its soldiers, but Palestinian health officials say scores of civilians have been among the dead. Four Israeli soldiers have also been killed during this period in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>Israel launched its offensive in Gaza in response to the Hamas attacks in October 2023, which killed some 1,200 people and took 251 others hostage.<\/p>\n<p>The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza says over 72,803 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire. The ministry, part of Gaza\u2019s Hamas government, does not give a breakdown of civilian and militant deaths.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p><em>Associated Press writer Fatma Khaled contributed from Cairo.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: italic;\">The Western Journal has not reviewed this Associated Press story prior to publication.
