Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Avigdor Katz, have attributed responsibility for the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel to Hamas member Mazen Odeh. Reports indicate that Katz described Odeh as a key architect of the attack and held him accountable for the subsequent murders, kidnappings, and attacks against Israeli civilians. The claims are supported by medical sources within Gaza who reported a fatality and multiple injuries resulting from an incident involving a residential structure.
The exact nature of the incident remains unclear, with dpa news agency noting a lack of reports originating from Gaza regarding the event. Meanwhile, the French news agency AFP, citing Hamas sources, detailed a separate Israeli military operation in the west of Gaza City. This operation resulted in the deaths of three individuals and left twenty injured.
Israeli authorities have repeatedly stated their intention to pursue and eliminate all individuals involved in the October 7th attack. The situation continues to develop with ongoing reports regarding the events in Gaza. The keyword “attack” and “odeh” are included throughout the text.
