The IDF continues to make the world a better place, by eliminating some of the most brutal and blood thirsty terrorists on the planet. Izz al-Din al-Haddad was one of the architects of the October 7th massacre against Israel. Izz al-Din al-Haddad was particularly involved in Hamas’ hostage captivity system, that held innocent Israelis in captivity in the most brutal conditions imaginable. Al-Din is one of the last high ranking Hamas officials to be eliminated since the war started. May he rot in hell.
Hamas had quietly handed over its Gaza operations to a shadowy veteran commander known as The Ghost of al-Qassam. At 55, Ezzedin al-Haddad is no stranger to bloodshed, nor to survival. With the weight of a crumbling militant terror structure on his shoulders, Haddad stepped in as Hamas’s third Gaza chief in just seven months.
Benjamin Netanyahu: “We eliminated the terrorist Izz ad-Din al-Haddad. He was the number one leader in Hamas’s military wing. Everyone responsible for the October 7th massacre will be killed. Every last one of them!”

“In every conversation I held with the hostages who returned, the name of the arch-terrorist Izz al-Din al-Haddad, one of the chief perpetrators of the October 7th Massacre and the head of Hamas’ military wing, came up again and again. Today, we succeeded in eliminating him.”… pic.twitter.com/d8UZ5m20B1

IDF confirms Hamas Gaza chief Izz al-Din al-Haddad killed in airstrike
Sources in terror group also confirm death of Haddad, known as ‘the Ghost’ and long sought by Israel; was one of last surviving architects of Oct. 7 onslaught and had in the past ‘surrounded himself with hostages’
By TOI, May 16th, 2026
The Israel Defense Forces on Saturday confirmed killing Hamas military chief Izz al-Din al-Haddad, the terror group’s leader in Gaza, in a “precise strike” on Gaza City in the Strip’s north the previous day.
In a statement Saturday, the military said Haddad had recently “acted to rebuild the capabilities of the terrorist organization’s military wing and to plan numerous terror attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops,” despite a US-brokered ceasefire agreement in October.
