Part 5/7:
Most of Hamas’s top leadership, both political and military, has been decimated by Israeli strikes over the past year. In the current chaos, the organization’s leadership vacuum has led to uncertainty about who is truly calling the shots.
However, sources point to a significant figure: Al-Khadad, a veteran commander of the Gaza brigades. He is believed to be the de facto leader of Hamas’s military operations at present, especially after surviving multiple Israeli attempts at his assassination. His military experience and recognition within Hamas could position him as the key decision-maker in the aftermath of leadership losses.
