“The people of Gaza are deeply rooted and will never leave their territory.” We have only one option: the right to return to our land throughout Palestine. There will be no immigration from Gaza to Egypt, I thank Cairo for preventing this. Our decision is to stay in Gaza.” Ismail Haniyeh, 61, the undisputed leader of Hamas, actually speaks in the pomp of his residence. Not in Gaza, but in Doha, Qatar, the oil emirate and Al Jazeera. And for this reason, it will be difficult for Israeli intelligence services to eliminate him. His last public image on video shows him with the general staff of his terrorist organization, which rules in the Strip but lives a golden life in the Gulf, between a flag-draped desk and a mega-television in front of which they all prostrate themselves and pray together and celebrate the success of Saturday’s massacre in Israel. “Allah and Akbar”. Allah is great. The major leaders, the masterminds of terror, almost all live outside the Gaza Strip. Only a handful of field commanders remain in Gaza, who are being hunted by the Israeli army.
Israel: Hamas commander Bilal al Kedra killed: He was responsible for the kibbutz massacre. Iran in Tel Aviv: “Ready to intervene”
THE DIFFICULT HUNT
In the last hours, two strategists of the terrorist operation were killed: Ali Al Qadhi, 37 years old, head of the Hamas special unit “Nukhba”, arrested in 2005 for kidnapping and killing an Israeli Shin Bet 007, and in 2011 along with 1,026 other Palestinians prisoners were released in exchange for a single Israeli hostage, Private Gilad Shalit. A drone would have hit the building where al-Qadhi was holed up, according to grainy black-and-white images released by Tsahal, the Star of David army. He was the mastermind of the October 7 massacre. Likewise, Murad Abu Murad, head of the Hamas air force who allegedly led the invasion of killer hang gliders at the desert rave party, was eliminated. But the hunt for the masterminds of the massacre has only just begun. Wanted No. has remained in Gaza unless he has left the country in the meantime. 1 and political leader in the Gaza Strip, about whom IDF Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari simply said: “Yahya Sinwar is a dead man.” Sinwar was also released as a thousandth of the ransom for soldier Shalit. He had spent 22 years in prison, there was a bounty on his head and even his minutes were numbered. The other leader to be eliminated is Mohammed Deif, the “one-eyed commander” of the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, who led the militants’ advance beyond the barrier. All the other leaders who really matter are safe abroad. Covered by the dollars derived from the percentage of all goods smuggled in the Gaza tunnels and distributed to the Hamas dome.
THE GOLDEN LIFE
The two countries in which the organization’s leaders can move easily under the protection of state security devices are Lebanon and Qatar. In addition, of course, to Iran. Haniyeh, married with 13 children, was the leader of the Islamic Brotherhood students at the University of Gaza and was appointed prime minister of the Palestinian Authority in 2006. Last April, he officially traveled to Saudi Arabia for the pilgrimage to Mecca, along with his No. 2, Saleh al-Arouri, another key Hamas figure who lives in Lebanon after being forced to leave Turkey in 2015. And the Haniyeh’s former political leader and predecessor, Khaled Meshaal, who had lost the leadership due to the conflict with Sinwar.
RELATIONSHIPS
Meshaal represented the wing that looked more towards Riyadh and Egypt than Tehran. Today he heads the Hamas Diaspora Office in Qatar together with Haniyeh. This undetected mission last April came at a time when China was working toward reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Saleh al-Arouri, 57, from Beirut appears to be a more important target for the Israelis than Haniyeh. There is a $5 million bounty on his head. The West Bank’s military leader, West Bank, is one of the founders of the Al-Qassam Brigades. Born in Ramallah, graduated in Sharia and Islamic law from Hebron University, served 15 years in prison in Israel according to his resume, released in March 2010 for negotiating Shalit’s release. In Damascus he joined the head of the Syria office, Meshaal, and then moved to Turkey. He is Hamas’s liaison to Iran and Hezbollah. It is no coincidence that it was Al-Arouri who met Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian in Beirut yesterday, with the leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Zihad Nakhalel, also in Lebanon and not in Gaza. Also living in the Land of Cedars are Osama Hamdan, Hamas plenipotentiary in Tehran from 1993 to 1998 and Lebanon from 1998 to 2009, now in charge of international relations, and Ali Baraka, Hamas agent in Beirut from 2011 to 2019 in an overlapping role that of Hamdan, but in some cases exceeds it and extends as far as China. However, it is easier for the Israelis to capture Hamas leaders in the West Bank. Mission partially accomplished, the capture of Sheikh Adnan Asfur. Read the full article
