In a statement, Al-Qassam Bridages, the military wing of Hamas, announced the martyrdom of the commander of its northern brigade, Ahmed al-Ghandour, and three other top leaders, during an Israeli attack against the resistance.

In a statement, the Al-Qassam Brigades said Ghandour was a member of its military council and named three other leaders who had been martyred, including Ayman Siyyam, who Israeli media said was head of the Hamas rocket-firing units.

According to the report, Ghandour was a key Hamas leader who led the group's northern Gaza unit and served on its military council.

"We pledge to Allah we will continue their path and that their blood will be a light for the mujahedeen and a fire for the occupiers," the statement said.

Backstory on Ahmad Ghandour 

Ghandour was imprisoned twice in "Israel" and reportedly lost two sons in Israeli airstrikes during the war.

During the 2014 battle, the IOF destroyed his house and a year later, an Israeli non-governmental organization accused him in a complaint for suspected war crimes committed during the conflict.

The State Department said at the time he was a member of Hamas's political bureau, as well as having previously been on the resistance group's Shura council, which groups its leaders from Gaza, the West Bank, and overseas.
