Palestinian journalists reported that Nabil Hamad, a senior official in Hamas's military wing responsible for recruitment and strengthening the group's armed forces, died early this morning from wounds he sustained approximately a week ago. Hamad was reportedly attacked in the Shati refugee camp on October 31. While Palestinian media initially reported his death on the day of the attack, and the IDF spokesperson declared him dead on November 2, Hamad was critically injured and only succumbed to his wounds overnight.
Hamas allegedly attempted to conceal the severity of Hamad's injuries. The intention was reportedly to give the impression that he had been killed, potentially leading Israel to cease pursuing him and allowing him a chance to recover and receive a "new life." However, his death is now confirmed, and his funeral was held this morning. This is not the first time Hamas has employed such concealment tactics, and it appears to have been successful in some instances.
