A member of Hamas’ internal security apparatus, Ahmad Zamzam, was shot dead this Sunday (December 14, 2025) in the Al Maghazi camp in the central part of the Gaza Strip, according to the Interior Ministry of the Islamist government. “Security services have arrested a suspect and an investigation into the incident is underway,” the ministry said in a statement.
The Gaza Ministry, which is controlled by Hamas (which is considered a terrorist organization by both Israel and other countries, including the United States and Germany), said in its statement that Zamzam’s death was the work of agents who were “under the direct supervision of the Israeli intelligence services.” “The security services continue to investigate the incident and are working to locate the remaining perpetrators of the crime,” the text continued.
Hamas blamed Israeli agents for the attack, but an Israeli army spokeswoman said it was unaware of the incident. There was speculation in Gaza about the possible death of Zamzam at the hands of Palestinian attackers.
