Israel's military has revealed the identity of a key Hamas figure it says was instrumental in orchestrating the October 7 attacks that ignited the war in Gaza. Iyad Ahmed Abd al-Rahman Shambari, described by the IDF as the chief of Hamas' military intelligence operations, has now been named and linked directly to the planning and execution of the assault. The IDF claims Shambari was among key operatives killed in a recent strike, alongside his son Salah, marking a significant blow to Hamas' operational command structure. WATCH
