Similar to numerous Hamas leaders, Abu Obaida is an unidentified commander who ranks high on Israel’s list of targets. Much like the head of Al-Qassam, Muhammad Dief, Israel has circulated numerous unfounded narratives about him.
The individual dispelled the myth of Israel’s impenetrable Iron Dome and unassailable defense, revealing it to be a falsehood. Israel, in reality, is portrayed as a toothless bulldog. One of his nicknames is “Happiness Maker” because whenever he speaks, it brings joy to everyone listening. His gaze has the power to instill fear in Zionists, leaving them uneasy.
His name, Abu Obaida, is derived from the companion of the Prophet, Abu Ubayda ibn Al-Jarrah, may Allah be pleased with him. Abu Ubayda played a significant role as one of the main companions in the Siege of Jerusalem and successfully conquered it under the orders of Umar, may Allah be pleased with him.
Abu Obaida is a hero
Abu Obaida made his debut in the media as the spokesperson for Al-Qassam on June 25, 2006. Over the past 18 years, he has consistently served as the spokesperson for Al-Qassam, the military branch of Hamas.
Even with access to advanced technology, Israel has been unable to ascertain Abu Obaida’s true identity or obtain an authentic image of him. Israel has repeatedly made unfounded claims, asserting that Abu Obaida’s real name is Huzaifa and that he resides in Jabalia, Gaza.
