We mourn the great commander, Huthaifa Samir Abdallah al-Kahlout, Abu Ibrahim,” said the new spokesman, whose identity remains unknown but said he has taken the same nom de guerre. This marked the first time Hamas officially confirmed Kahlout's identity, after he had served as the al-Qassam Brigades spokesman and head of its military unit for two decades without ever revealing his true face.
