JERUSALEM, Oct. 3 (Xinhua) -- The Israeli military attempted to kill senior Hamas official Ali al-Amoudi in an overnight strike in Gaza, Israel's state-owned Kan TV News and other media outlets reported Saturday.

Al-Amoudi is considered a successor to Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, who was killed by the Israeli military in October 2024.

Kan cited an Israeli official as assessing that al-Amoudi did not survive the strike as he was inside the targeted apartment.

Israel's Channel 12 News reported that, among other responsibilities, al-Amoudi is tasked with overseeing the transfer of Hamas' civilian governing apparatus to the Palestinian technocratic committee responsible for administering the Gaza Strip under the Board of Peace. ■
