Report: IDF Eliminates Son of Senior Hamas Leader, Who Attacked Troops Across Ceasefire Line
Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad vowed to launch “a second, a third, a fourth” October 7-style massacre until Israel is “annihilated.”
An Israeli airstrike on Sunday reportedly eliminated the son of a senior Hamas leader, who tried to attack troops stationed across the Gaza ceasefire line.
Abdullah Hamad, son of Qatar-based Ghazi Hamad, was killed along with a Hamas commander and two other terrorists as they emerged from a tunnel in the recently established Yellow Line that demarcates the Israeli-controlled side of Gaza following the October 10 ceasefire.
Without identifiying the eliminated terrorists, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), in a brief statement, disclosed the killing of “four terrorists in the area of the underground Terror Infrastructure in Rafah,” behind the Israeli ceasefire line.
“Overnight (Sunday), four terrorists who exited underground infrastructure in the area were identified. Guided by the IAF [Israeli Air Force], the troops eliminated the terrorist,” the military said.

Ghazi Hamad is part of Hamas’s leadership, directing terrorist operations in Gaza from Doha, Qatar. Hamad, among the planners of the October 7 attack, called the massacre of innocent people a “golden moment” for Palestinians in a CNN interview in late September.
Weeks after October 7, 2023, Hamad, from the safety of his luxury abode in Qatar, vowed to launch “a second, a third, a fourth” October 7-style massacre until Israel is “annihilated.”
While he survived the Israeli strike on Hamas headquarters in Qatar on September 9, the IDF appears to have taken out his terrorist son. The Times of Israel quoted Arab and Hamas-linked news outlets saying that “Abdullah Hamad, son of senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad, is one of the Hamas operatives killed by the IDF while trying to flee a Rafah-area tunnel this morning.”
An IDF source on the ground confirmed that one of the terrorists killed in the airstrike was the son of an unnamed senior Hamas leader. “In a video circulating online, the commander of the IDF’s Nahal Brigade, Col. Arik Moyal, said his forces, with support from the Israeli Air Force, killed the local Hamas battalion commander, his deputy, a company commander, and a fourth operative he identified as Hamad’s son, without naming him,” the news outlet added.
Israel’s Ynetnews reports:
The IDF said Sunday that four Palestinian terrorists were killed overnight after emerging from a tunnel route in Rafah, as forces continue operations against Hamas operatives entrenched in the underground network in southern Gaza.
In a statement, the military said troops, guided by the Air Force, identified the men exiting a subterranean passage and eliminated them.
According to the IDF’s assessment, the four may include the Hamas battalion commander in Rafah’s Janina neighborhood, his deputy and a company commander. Their identities are still under verification.
IDF engineering and infantry forces operating in the area are engaged in what the military calls a systematic dismantling of Hamas infrastructure. The underground complexes, once considered by the group to be “impenetrable,” are now under increasing pressure as the army closes in.
The tunnel system in Rafah is “highly complex,” the IDF said, noting that terrorists remaining underground after the ceasefire came into effect last month — including the Rafah-area battalion commander — had prepared for long-term shelter. But as time passes and Israeli forces encircle them, supplies are running out, forcing some to surface, where troops are positioned to intercept them.
Excellent news!!
A security official told Israel army Radio that the entire command structure of the Rafah “terror pocket” trapped in Rafah has been wiped out.
The four terrorists eliminated this morning were the Rafah East Battalion commander, his deputy, a company commander,… pic.twitter.com/a2cKYJPjAY

With today’s strike, the IDF appears to have crippled the leadership of Hamas terrorists holed up behind the ceasefire line. According to Israeli media reports, some 200 Hamas operatives were ‘stuck’ in terror tunnels in the area. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refused to grant them ‘safe passage’.

When Islamic terrorist leaders start caring for their children as much as those in the West, this senseless war will end.
They might care for their children if they were limited to one child for at least 2 generations.
They always have replacements
Probably one son of 33
Dig those hamas bastards out of Qatar, I blame Trump for giving Qatar multiple passes. They are not our friend and never will be.
Surely we can do better.
Arm any and all Jews and Christians in Israel and on the West Bank now who wish to be armed.
