Military declaration issued by: .
...: the battalions of the dead Azadin Al-Ksam:...
"Battle of Bol al-Aqsa".
With the highest expressions of pride and confidence in the imminent victory of Allah, the Azadin Al-Ksam legions of the dead announce the martyrdom of:.
Senior commander killed / Samir Mahmoud Abu Younes "Abu Mahmoud".
Member of the General Military Council of the Al-Ksam Brigades and commander of the Rafah Brigade.
He ascended to the highest ranks last night, Saturday, D. Jumada al-Thani 1,448, corresponding to November 14, 2026, following a cowardly assassination operation, to leave his Lord as a martyr after a blessed journey of jihad and giving.
Our dead man was from the first generation of the Al-Qassam Brigades. He joined the Al-Qassam Brigades in 1991 and was imprisoned in enemy prisons. He also participated in numerous high-profile operations and conflict with enemy invasions. He was one of the active commanders during the Al-Aqsa Intifada. He gradually advanced in leadership positions in the Rafah Brigade until he commanded the Western Battalion, succeeding the martyred commander Mahmoud Hamdan, and then the Rafah Brigade, succeeding the martyred commander Nael Abu Obeid "Abu Atiya".
He was also among the prominent commanders who participated in the planning and supervision of the October 7 attack.
As we proclaim the martyrdom of our commander today, we are sure of the justice and sanctity of our cause, and that it is worthy of every precious sacrifice. The road soaked in the blood of Abu Mahmoud and his brothers is our passage to victory and liberation. The more criminal and Nazi the enemy becomes, the more the passion for revenge burns in the hearts of young and old alike.
