Hamas has reportedly appointed a longtime operative, nicknamed the “Ghost of al-Qassam,” to take command of its Gaza operations, following the targeted killings of the group’s last two leaders by Israel.
According to a Wall Street Journal report citing several informed sources, Ezzedin al-Haddad—who played a role in orchestrating the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attacks—was recently selected to head Hamas’s activities in Gaza.
He becomes the third commander in a span of just seven months, following the deaths of Yahya Sinwar, the architect behind the Oct. 7 massacre, and his brother Mohammed Sinwar, who briefly led the group after Yahya’s elimination.
