Top Hamas Commanders
The Palestinian militant group Hamas has for the first time made details of its top military commanders public.
The organisation published pictures of and interviews with seven commanders, giving their names, rank and role, on its website and in a newspaper.
Hamas has previously kept such details secret, amid the threat of assassinations by Israel. Correspondents say the move is part of an effort by Hamas to claim credit for Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza.
- Mohammed Deif: Number one
- Ahmad al-Jabari: Deif deputy
- Marwan Isa: Central Gaza Strip
- Raed Saad: Gaza City
- Ahmed Ghaldour: Northern Gaza Strip
- Mohammed Abu Shamala: Southern Gaza Strip
- Mohammed al-Sanwar: Khan Yunis
Frankly I don’t think it’s an intelligent move. Just because Israel has left Gaza doesn’t mean they can’t infiltrate agents to assassinate the Hamas top ranks you have now unmasked…
