Al-Qassam Brigades Announce Martyrdom of Senior Commanders

The Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic resistance movement, Hamas, announced in a live address the martyrdom of several senior resistance leaders.

The address, broadcast via al-Qassam’s official Telegram channel, was delivered by the newly appointed spokesperson who now also bears the nom de guerre Abu Ubaida. The continuation of the name was presented as a clear message that the resistance maintains its course, affirming its position as a solid, well-established institution with deep roots.

Opening the address, the new spokesperson extended greetings to Gaza, its land, water, sky, and steadfast people; saluting its resistance fighters, families, and martyrs. He paid tribute to those enduring displacement, destruction, and siege, stating that their faith remains stronger than any weapon wielded by enemies or conspirators.

With utmost pride and honor, the Brigades announced the martyrdom of a group of their most distinguished leaders:

• Mohammed Sinwar (Abu Ibrahim), Chief of Staff of Martyr Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades
• Mohammed Shabana (Abu Anas), Commander of the Rafah Brigade
• Hikmat Issa (Abu Omar), a commander known for his resistance activity in Lebanon and Syria before settling in Gaza
• Raed Saad (Abu Muadh), the head of the manufacturing division and former head of operations

The statement also confirmed the martyrdom of Abu Ubaida, the long-time spokesperson of the Brigades, revealing his identity as Hudhayfa Samir Abdullah al-Kahlout (Abu Ibrahim). He was remembered as “the resounding voice of the nation, the pulse of Palestine and its people,” and a figure whose masked presence had become a symbol for millions.

The Brigades emphasized that Abu Ubaida played a pivotal role in relaying the voice of the resistance to the world, particularly during the Al-Aqsa Flood operation. His martyrdom, the spokesperson affirmed, marks not an end but a continuation of the struggle.

Messages from the new spokesperson

In his first address, the new spokesperson of the Al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Ubaida, characterized October 7 as “a thunderous eruption in the face of injustice, oppression, and siege.” He reaffirmed that the resistance had fulfilled its duties toward the Palestinian people, despite the brutal aggression and countless violations.

He called upon international actors to shift their focus toward disarming the Zionist regime of its lethal arsenal rather than going after the rifles of the Palestinian resistance. A call was also issued to the Arab and Islamic Ummah: “Aid Gaza, which continues to endure immense suffering. It is your duty to relieve its pain.”

Warning of the consequences of silence, he stated that “those who remain silent about the oppression of their Arab and Muslim brethren must expect to face the same violation and aggression.”

He also warned that the so-called “Greater Israel” project was expanding daily, citing the continuous aggression on Lebanon and Syria as further evidence.

A salute was extended to the Syrian people, who confronted Zionist aggression despite being left alone. The spokesperson declared that the occupation, once emboldened, had now been humiliated in Gaza. “The autumn of the occupation has begun,” he said, asserting that the curse of the eighth decade now shadows the occupier.

He added that the blood of women, children, and the innocent would haunt the occupation until it is rejected by all of creation, and that the occupation’s descent after its corruption and arrogance signals the approach of its final defeat.

Addressing the people of Gaza, the statement reaffirmed loyalty to their sacrifices: “We are your sons, and we are proud. We bow in reverence before you and vow to remain faithful.”
