🚨 SENIOR HAMAS COMMANDER DIES A WEEK AFTER ISRAEL DECLARED HIM ELIMINATED

Palestinian sources confirm that Nabil Hamad, a senior Hamas military operative responsible for recruitment and strengthening the terrorist organization's military wing, has died from wounds sustained in an Israeli strike on October 31.

The IDF announced his elimination on November 2, but Hamad had reportedly survived the initial strike in critical condition.

According to Israeli reporting, Hamas deliberately concealed his survival, potentially hoping Israel would believe he was already dead and stop pursuing him.

Hamad reportedly succumbed to his injuries last night, with his funeral held this morning.

The reported deception raises an interesting intelligence question: How often does Hamas conceal the survival of targeted commanders to protect them from further Israeli operations?
