Abu Hamza
Abu Hamza is the nickname of the spokesperson for Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement (PIJ). Abu Hamza is considered one of the first wanted people on the Israeli assassination lists due to his being considered the main artery of the psychological and media warfare imposed by the Islamic Jihad Movement. Abu Hamza is similar to Abu Ubaida, the same voice, the same style, the same finger signal when warning, and the same words used in both characters.
Abu Hamza is a male given name of Arabic origin. It is a compound name of Abu [son of ] and Hamza, meaning lion.

On that day he will be alive. Abu Hamza al-Sukkari did not sell sugar, but he was named al-Sukkari because of the sweetness of his words.
Abu Hamza was famous for his generosity. If a man from his neighbors fell ill, he would give in charity the equivalent of the patient’s expenses, due to the illness that was taken away from him. He was famous for his asceticism, saying: “ I have not been satisfied for thirty years unless I have a guest.”
Ahmad ibn Hanbal said : “I have no problem with his hadith.

A nom de guerre [FR : name of war] is a pseudonym that someone uses for a particular task or job. People who engage in armed conflict or resistance often use noms de guerre to conceal their identity. Revolutionaries and resistance leaders, such as Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, Golda Meir, Philippe Leclerc de Hauteclocque, and Josip Broz Tito, often adopt their noms de guerre as their proper names after the struggle.
On Friday 30 August 2014 the Islamic Jihad movement called for a massive celebration in Gaza City of the victory of the resistance achieved during the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, which lasted 51 days. The celebration included a military parade by fighters of the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of Jihad, during which the Brigades announced its new spokesman.

Abu Hamza said during a speech he delivered at the gathering: “This is not the last battle with the Israeli occupation, but it is a battle on the path to liberating all of Palestine,” stressing that “the Palestinian people and their resistance were able to achieve what other countries and armies could not achieve, and that the battle put the enemy at a crossroads and proved that the Zionist project is on track.” Palestine entered the battle of the beginning of the end.”
"The appearance of “Abu Hamza” sparked controversy among Gazans, who asked many questions about the fate of “Abu Ahmed,” the former spokesman for the Brigades, and the truth about what was raised about his martyrdom during the aggression, but sources in the “Jerusalem Brigades” confirmed that “Abu “Ahmed” is fine and in good health. The former spokesman, “Abu Ahmed,” enjoyed the trust and appreciation of the Palestinians who knew him at the beginning of the Al-Aqsa Intifada through his voice that was blaring on local radio, where he was known for his nationalist positions and his constant emphasis on unity with all factions.

Facebook users unanimously agreed that the first appearance of “Abu Hamza” was successful, as he appeared confident and in control of his performance, and they wished him success in his performance. Conveying the voice of the resistance and showing the image that befits it.
"Facebook users went on to talk about an upcoming competition between “Abu Hamza” and the war icon and Al-Qassam spokesman “Abu Ubaida” over the hearts of the Palestinians. “Abu Ubaida” or “the man with the red stripe” represented a special case during the aggression on the Gaza Strip, as he occupied the conversations of the Palestinians who were glued to the television screens to follow his statements throughout the 51 days of the war. "Between the black and the red, the hearts of the Palestinians yearn and beat for the statement of liberation that will one day bring down the graves so that the sun of freedom will shine on the faces of their companions."

Our fighters are repelling the enemy’s tank columns and mercenaries on all fronts of the battle. We are facing with all defiance and steadfastness a world war, who clear target is the genocide of our Palestinian people. The enemy, in the midst of madness, targets everything, even its own prisoners in the hands of Saraya Al-Quds and the Palestinian resistance. We are an integral part of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation and we stand shoulder to shoulder with the Al-Qassam Brigades.
“We disclaim our responsibility towards the enemy prisoners in light of the barbaric bombing of every inch of Gaza. We announce our readiness to release Mrs. Hanna Kastir for humanitarian and health reasons, noting that we may not be able to provide her with healthcare in the face of exhaustion of fuel, electricity, medicine, and all life essentials. We declare our readiness to release the boy Yaghil Yaakov for humanitarian reasons and for his young age, noting that the prisons of the occupation are filled with hundreds of prisoners from the children of Palestine.
“We reassure our people and all those who love and support us across the world, that Saraya Al-Quds (Al-Quds Brigades) and the Resistance are a thousand thousand times well, and our enemy, attempting to advance on different fronts for several long days, is tasting pain and horror in their tanks, which have become mobile coffins, with the help of God.”

Abu Hamza praised the steadfastness and steadfastness of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, who he said were being subjected to a war of extermination imposed on them, where houses were being bombed on the heads of their residents and blood was being shed. The Israeli occupation vowed that it would not achieve victory against a people who knew only the path to victory, and “we will destroy your hopes on the land of Gaza, just as we destroyed the hopes of your ancestors on the walls of Acre.”
He reassured the Palestinian people, and all the lovers, supporters and advocates in the world, that the Al-Quds Brigades and the Resistance are “a thousand thousand fine” and “that the enemy, which has been trying for many days to advance from several axes, is drinking pain and terror with its tanks that have become mobile coffins.” Abu Hamza also said that the Palestinians "are facing a global war whose clear goal is to annihilate the Palestinian people, and the enemy is targeting everything, even its prisoners, who are now in the grip of the Al-Quds Brigades and the Resistance Brigades."
