"Last Hamas Commander" ready to fight in Gaza City

JNS report:
As the IDF intensified “Operation Gideon’s Chariots II” on Tuesday, Ezz el-Din al-Haddad, Hamas’s current military commander, is reportedly holed up underground in Gaza City along with thousands of other terrorists.

At the start of the war, al-Haddad commanded the Gaza City Brigade, overseeing six battalions—roughly 6,000 fighters—and was part of the decision-making circle behind the Oct. 7, 2023 massacre.

Since the targeted killing of Hamas military leader Mohammed Sinwar in May, al-Haddad is now considered the head of Hamas’s military wing. At his side are Ra’ed Sa’ad and Mohammed Awda, heads of the terrorist group’s production and intelligence units. Al-Haddad is said to be responsible for key decisions regarding both the war and the hostage situation.

In a January interview with Arab media, al-Haddad addressed whether Iran and Hezbollah had prior knowledge of the Oct. 7 attacks.

“Given the large scale and anticipated consequences of the attack, the brothers in the axis of resistance were updated on the general picture. But we kept the timing of the zero hour to the narrowest possible circle to ensure the attack’s success,” he said.

I am hardly the only person with this opinion! Have you not seen the demonstrations in Israel? Why do you think the head of the IDF is trying to hold back from Netanyahu’s plans?

I never suggested you were.

In fact I said I partly share your opinion.

I was responding to you saying
That's your personal opinion not fact.

As you said it was my personal opinion and did not say, ‘That is is what a lot of people think but ….’, I took it as a remark from you singling out my opinion as discrete from a far greater opposing one which is of a supposedly correct fact regarding Netanyahu’s intentions.

You did go on to say you partly agreed though, it is true. So I maybe I should have dwelled on that instead of responding so quickly.

Ezz el-Din al-Haddad to his terrorists “Your deaths and the deaths of the innocent Palestinians is a price I am willing to pay”

Anyone else making the comparison of Hamas with the Nazis at the end of WWII?

No, not really, as they seem different sort of people to me with different beliefs and to be living entirely differently. They had never previously been super powerful like Germany either. They probably think they have nothing to lose.

It might be best to avoid Nazi comparisons. I thought that was the protocol.

Yes I agree better to avoid Nazi comparisons to respect those that find it triggering.
