Gaza sources affiliated with Hamas have named Mustafa Mahana, an officer in the Palestinian Authority's Preventive Security Intelligence apparatus, as the alleged collaborator executed for providing the intelligence that enabled Israel's assassination of Izz al-Din al-Haddad, commander of Hamas's military wing. The sources claim Mahana relayed al-Haddad's departure and hospital confirmation of his death to Israel, and that he assisted in eliminating 37 senior Hamas figures during the war. The claims are single-sourced and unconfirmed.
Hamas has publicly identified Mustafa Mahana, an officer in the Palestinian Authority's Preventive Security Intelligence apparatus, as the alleged collaborator executed for aiding Israel's assassination of Izz al-Din al-Haddad, commander of the Hamas military wing. The identification comes from unnamed Gaza sources affiliated with Hamas, as reported by the Abu Ali Express channel.
According to the sources, Mahana — who is related by marriage to al-Haddad — reported to Israel on al-Haddad's departure one minute before the assassination, then confirmed his death at the hospital and relayed that confirmation to Israel. The sources further claim that Mahana assisted Israel in eliminating 37 senior Hamas officials over the course of the war.
As The Zioneer reported at 08:46 Thursday, Hamas's Internal Security Apparatus executed Mahana, accusing him of providing real-time intelligence to Israel. The current identification adds a name and specific allegations to that earlier report. The claims remain single-sourced and unverified by independent parties.
