Ahmed Jabari

Ahmed al-Jabari (Arabic: أحمد الجعبري; 1960 – (2012-11-14)14 November 2012), also known as Abu Mohammad, was a Palestinian militant who served as second-in-command of the military wing of Hamas, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades. He was widely credited as the leading figure in the Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip, and commanded the 2006 Hamas cross-border raid which resulted in the capture of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. Under his command, along with chief logistics officer Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, Hamas developed its own military weapons capability significantly by acquiring longer-range guided missiles and rockets. While at the Islamic University of Gaza, Jabari joined Fatah, a Palestinian organization that advocated for an armed struggle against Israel. Read more on Wikipedia
