Mohammed Shabana
Mohammed Shabana is a high-ranking commander in Hamas, currently serving as the head of the Rafah Brigade. He rose to prominence during the 2014 Operation Protective Edge after the elimination of multiple senior Hamas leaders. Under his command, several battalions operate, including the elite Nukhba unit, which played a key role in planning attacks against Israel. Shabana has survived numerous assassination attempts and has faced significant personal losses during the ongoing conflict, including the deaths of three of his sons. His involvement in military operations and his leadership position make him a crucial figure within Hamas.
