IZZ Al-Din Al-Hadd? After IDF, Hamas’s potential new chief abolished Muhammad Sinavar

According to the Jerusalem Post report, Ize al-Din al-Hadad is emerging as expected to lead Hamas after a series of senior commanders of almost all groups, erasing a series of Israeli airy attacks. Among those killed were Muhammad Sear, head of Hamas’s military wing, who took over in 2024 after the death of top leaders Yahya Sinavar and Muhammad Def. Al-Hadd is a long-time member of Hamas’s military council, and now seems to be the most senior commander from the Group’s East War Gaza leadership.Senior role in Hamas military leadershipAccording to foreign relations over the European Council, Al-Hadd has long been a member of Hamas’s military council. He has led the IZZ al-Din al-Kasam Brigade in Gaza City since 2021 and has also commanded the northern Gaza Brigade of Hamas till November 2023.Al-Hadad is believed to be considered as the last living member of the five original brigade commanders in Gaza, the Jerusalem Post has reported, making him the most senior person to oversee Hamas’s military operations.Sinavar murdered in Khan UnisThe Israeli defense forces confirmed that Muhammad Sinwar was carried out on 13 May on 13 May at the European Hospital ground at Khan Younis. Operation also killed Muhammad Shabana, Commander of Rafah Brigade, Hamas and Commander of Mahdi Quara, who led the South Khan Younis Battalion.The IDF said more than 50 accurate sages were fired within 30 seconds during the attack, who used to kill an underground Hamas Command Center without damaging the hospital above.Sinavar took charge of Hamas’s military wing after the assassination of Muhammad Diff in July 2024. He was described by Israeli officials as “among the most senior and longest servants of Hamas’s military wing”, and was an important person in the October 7, 2023 plan, attacks.El-Hadad’s increasing influenceThe Times reported that Al-Hadd was involved in the October 7 attack plan on Israel, distributing written instructions to the commanders before the operation. He also played an important role in handling the hostages and infrastructure during the ceasefire, allegedly overseeing citizens and military reconstruction efforts in Gaza.Al-Hadad is said to have survived six Israeli murder attempts and is known to have a low profile. A $ 750,000 reward was first placed on it, and he limits his communication to avoid being allegedly tracked.The Times stated that he holds veto power on the hostage release proposals, which currently involves the table, and controls the group responsible for holding the Israeli hostages.A vacuum of leadershipAfter the killings of Yahya Sinavar, Muhammad Diff, and now Muhammad Sinavar, Hamas finds himself a very few senior figures. Yahya Sinavar, the mastermind of the 7 October attack, was killed in the war in late 2024. His younger brother, Muhammad Sinavar, became a real leader until his death in May.Israeli’s Defense Minister Israel Katz commented on Sinavar’s death and commented: “Now it’s official: The killer Muhammad Sinavar has been abolished with Rafah Brigade Commander Muhammad Shabana and the wicked gang, who were with him under the European Hospital in Gaza, and he was sent to meet his brother.”Katz also issued a clear warning: “Is al-Din Hadad in Gaza and Khalil al-Hayya in abroad and all his companions in crime, you are in the next line.”
