On the morning of Simchat Torah and 3 years after the October 7 massacre, the IDF attempted to assassinate al-Amoudi, who serves as the deputy head of Hamas's political bureau and the senior terrorist managing the Gaza Strip in practice. The results of the assassination are not yet known. Al-Amoudi led Hamas's deception plan, according to which the terror organization would disarm and transfer the civil Hamas governance mechanism to the "technocrats' committee" of the Peace Council. As mentioned, he replaced Sinwar, who was also assassinated during the Sukkot holiday.
