As Hamas’s senior most terror operative in the Southern Gaza Strip, Shamalah oversaw various terror activities aimed at killing Israeli civilians and soldiers. He has been involved in numerous attacks over the years including the 1994 murder of an IDF officer in Rafah, a 2004 attack on an IDF military post, and the attack that led to Gilad Shalit’s abduction. He was killed in a targetted air strike early on August 21.

محمد إبراهيم صلاح أبو شمالة “أبو خليل”
21/8/2014
ولد عام 1974 في مخيم يبنا للاجئين جنوب مدينة رفح بقطاع غزة.
بدأ مشواره مع المقاومة بانتمائه لكتائب الشهيد عز الدين القسام -الجناح العسكري لحركة المقاومة الإسلامية (حماس)- في بداية التسعينيات مع كل من محمد الضيف ورائد العطار، وأصبح نائبا لقائد لواء رفح جنوبي قطاع غزة، وعضوا بالمجلس العسكري الأعلى لكتائب القسام.
أصبح من أبرز المطلوبين لأجهزة المخابرات الإسرائيلية منذ عام 1991، وأمضى في سجون الاحتلال تسعة أشهر، وفي سجون السلطة الوطنية الفلسطينية ثلاث سنوات ونصف السنة.
ونجا من محاولتي اغتيال؛ كانت الأولى عام 2003 عندما تعرضت سيارته لقصف جوي، وأصيب بجراح بعد أن قفز منها بالقرب من المستشفى الأوروبي بين مدينتي رفح وخان يونس. والثانية عام 2004 عندما اجتاحت قوات الاحتلال مخيم يبنا، وحاصرت منزله ودمرته بعد أن فشلت في النيل منه.
لم يسلم منزله الذي يقع في منطقة الشابورة وسط مدينة رفح من القصف والتدمير مرات عدة، كان آخرها أثناء العدوان الإسرائيلي الحالي.
تقول الكتائب إنه قاد العديد من العمليات “الجهادية” وعمليات ملاحقة وتصفية “العملاء” في الانتفاضة الأولى، وشارك في ترتيب صفوف كتائب القسام في الانتفاضة الثانية، وعين قائدا لدائرة الإمداد والتجهيز، وأشرف على العديد من العمليات الكبرى مثل عملية “براكين الغضب ومحفوظة وحردون وترميد والوهم المتبدد”، كما كان من أبرز القادة في “معارك الفرقان وحجارة السجيل والعصف المأكول”. وتولى قيادة جميع عمليات حماس في القطاع الجنوبي، وفي منطقة رفح وخان يونس.
تتهم المخابرات الإسرائيلية أبو شمالة بقتل ضابط إسرائيلي في رفح عام 1994، والتخطيط لعمليات من خلال حفر أنفاق مفخخة عام 2004، والوقوف وراء تخطيط العملية التي وقعت في معبر كرم أبو سالم (جنوب القطاع) عام 2008، حيث تم تفجير “جيبات” (سيارات دفع رباعي) وسيارات مفخخة، مما أدى إلى إصابة 13 جندياً”.
كما تتهمه بالوقوف وقف وراء عملية منطقة كرم أبو سالم عام 2006، والتي قتل فيها جنديان، وأسر خلالها جلعاد شاليط (الذي أطلق سراحه عام 2011)، إضافة إلى اتهامه بعمليات عسكرية خلال الحملة العسكرية الحالية، والتي من بينها المسؤولية عن تسلل 13 قساميا عن طريق نفق إلى منطقة صوفا جنوب شرق القطاع.
وتتهمه إسرائيل كذلك ببناء منظومة عسكرية واسعة في رفح، والمسؤولية عن التخطيط المستمر لأسر جنود إسرائيليين لمبادلتهم بأسرى فلسطينيين.
وصفت وسائل إعلام إسرائيلية محمد أبو شمالة بأنه سيكون ضمن القادة الأبرز لتولي قيادة القسام بعد اغتيال إسرائيل نائب القائد العام لكتائب القسام أحمد الجعبري عام 2012.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
He was led in 1974 in the يبنا refugee camp south of Rafah in the Gaza Strip.
He began his career with the resistance by belonging to the brigades of the martyr Izz al-Din al-Qassam–the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas)–in the early 1990s with Mohammed al-Dhaif and Raed al-Attar, and became deputy commander of the Rafah Brigade in southern Gaza Strip and a member of the Supreme Military Council
He has become one of the most wanted Israeli intelligence agencies since 1991, and has spent nine months in the occupation jails and the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) jails for three and a half years.
He survived two assassination attempts; the first was in 2003, when his car was hit by aerial bombardment, and he was wounded after he jumped near the European hospital between Rafah and Khan Yunis. The second was in 2004, when the occupying forces invaded the يبنا camp, besieged his house and destroyed it after failing to take it.
His home, which is located in the Shaboura area of Rafah, has not been handed over by shelling and destruction several times, most recent during the current Israeli aggression.
The battalions say that he led many operations/”jihadism” and the pursuit and liquidation of the “clients” in the first intifada, participated in arranging the ranks of the al-Qassam Brigades in the second Intifada, appointed a commander of the supply and processing department, and supervised many major operations such as Operation “Volcanoes of Fury And reserved, and Terdon and watermed and the disenchanted illusion, “as was one of the leading leaders in the” Battles of Furqan and the Stones of the Sajeel and the eaten. ” He led all Hamas operations in the southern sector, the Rafah area and Khan Younis.
Israeli intelligence accused Abu al-Shamal of killing an Israeli officer in Rafah in 1994, planning operations by digging tunnels in 2004, and planning the operation that took place at the Kerem Salem Crossing (south of the Gaza Strip) in 2008, where the “Jibat” (four-wheel drive) and car bombs were detonated, causing 13 soldiers were injured. “
What accuses him of standing behind Operation Karam Abu Salim in 2006, in which two soldiers were killed, during which Gilad Shalit (released in 2011) was captured, in addition to being charged with military operations during the current military campaign, including responsibility for the infiltration of 13 Qsamya through a tunnel to the sofa area south of St. Sector slavery.
Israel also accuses him of building a large military system in Rafah and responsibility for the ongoing planning of the families of Israeli soldiers to exchange Palestinian prisoners.
Israeli media have described Mohammed Abu Shamal as one of the most prominent leaders to take over the Qassam leadership after Israel assassinated the deputy commander of the al-Qassam Brigades Ahmed al-Ja’bari in 2012.
An Israeli raid on a residential building in Tal al-Sultan neighborhood in the west of Rafah blew up on Thursday (August 21st) August 2014, with his colleagues Mohammed Hamdan Barhoum and Raed al-Attar quoting him.

HAMAS / IZZ AL-DIN AL-QASSAM BRIGADES FUNDRAISING SCHEME
Prior to August 2020, the Hamas and Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades websites had a green banner at the top of their home page. This is how the home page of Hamas’ TV station, al-Aqsa TV, appeared on March 16, 2020:
Note the green banner at the top of the page:
The green banner contained an embedded URL that linked to the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades website. Clicking on the green banner would open this webpage:
This was a fund raising scheme utilizing cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, to underwrite its terrorism (“resistance”). Note that the solicitation is in English. This would indicate that the fund raising scheme not only targeted Arabic speaking countries but English speaking western countries as well, such as the U.S.
In August 2020, the U.S. government seized the website, funds and assets:
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE SEIZURE
The original Humanize Palestine website memorialized Hamas and al-Qassam Brigades terror operatives, Mohammed Abu Shamala was one example. In their own words, they honored the deceased terror operatives as martyrs by bringing them back to life through their pictures, stories, art, and poetry.
