Hamas's propaganda chief has been neutralized by Israel

In a significant development, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have confirmed the elimination of Hudayfah Kahut, known as "Abu Obaida," a high-ranking official in the terrorist organisation Hamas. For over a decade, Abu Obaida served as the head of the propaganda apparatus of the military wing of Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Abu Obaida was a key figure in the organisation, responsible for psychological warfare operations. He played a pivotal role in the distribution of video materials related to the crimes committed during the October 7 massacre. These videos were shot by Hamas terrorists and were part of the propaganda activities led by Abu Obaida.

The distribution of these videos was a strategic move by the Hamas propaganda apparatus under Abu Obaida's leadership, aimed at furthering their cause. It serves as an example of the psychological warfare operations under his leadership.

Prior to Abu Obaida, Kahut's predecessor in the leadership of Hamas's propaganda apparatus belonged to Hamas itself, having served as the organisation's spokesperson since 2004. There is no further detailed division or other organisational affiliation mentioned for his predecessor outside Hamas's own structure.

It is important to clarify that the distribution of these videos was not an action taken by the IDF, but was a part of the propaganda activities of Hamas, led by Abu Obaida. The statement regarding this distribution was made by the IDF.

The October 7 massacre is an event that occurred prior to the current date in the article. Abu Obaida served as a spokesperson for the terrorists during this period.

Kahut was one of the last high-ranking terrorists in Hamas who remained alive after October 7, 2023. The elimination of Abu Obaida marks a significant blow to the Hamas propaganda apparatus and its ability to spread propaganda and incite violence.

The IDF has not released further details about the operation that led to Abu Obaida's elimination. The focus now shifts to the future leadership of the Hamas propaganda apparatus and the impact this change will have on the organisation's activities.
