The IDF killed Sameh Abu Kamil, a Hamas military wing operative, in a drone strike Saturday on Al-Jalaa Street in Gaza City, the Abu Ali Express channel reported.
Abdul Kamil’s funeral was held Sunday and featured armed mourners chanting “Khaybar, Khaybar, O Jews,” a slogan evoking the 7th-century battle and frequently used in anti-Israel contexts. The source described the funerals of Hamas military operatives as a routine, daily event that serves as a show of force by the organization.
As The Zioneer has reported, funerals for Hamas operatives killed in Israeli strikes have become a recurring phenomenon in Gaza, with participants often firing weapons and chanting militant slogans — content that Israeli hasbara (public diplomacy) outlets have used to demonstrate the continued threat from the Strip.
Abu Kamil’s death comes amid ongoing Israeli operations in Gaza targeting Hamas military infrastructure and operatives. No independent confirmation of the strike or the identity of the operative was available beyond the single source.
