Family of “Abu Ubaida” mourns him, confirming his death in Israeli assassination operation

GAZA – The Al-Kahlout family has officially announced the martyrdom of their son, Hudhayfah Samir Al-Kahlout (known as “Abu Ibrahim”), famously recognized as “Abu Ubaida,” the military spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades.

According to the family’s statement, Al-Kahlout was killed in an Israeli airstrike that also claimed the lives of his wife, their son, and two daughters.

The statement detailed that this assassination followed repeated failed attempts on his life over the past years, emphasizing that he had remained steadfast alongside his people despite the conditions of siege, displacement, and famine.

Describing him as a “man of faith and intellect,” the family highlighted his academic background as a Quran memorizer and a Master’s degree holder who was pursuing his Doctorate before the conflict disrupted his studies. They characterized him as a humble figure who consistently avoided the spotlight, preferring to work in silence while focusing on the core essence of the Palestinian cause.

Concluding their eulogy, the family addressed the Palestinian people and the wider Arab and Islamic nations, stating that their loss—though painful—is a sacrifice within the ongoing national struggle. They asserted that his blood has now mingled with that of thousands of civilians fallen during the Israeli aggression, adding that future days will reveal the significant and multifaceted roles he played in the service of his cause.
