Ibrahim Hamed (إبراهيم حامد; born 1965 in Silwad[1] (age 59–60)) is a Hamas military commander in the West Bank who ordered suicide bombing attacks during the Second Intifada[2] which he claimed is due to Israeli attacks on Palestinians until he was apprehended by Israeli Yamam unit on 23 May 2006.[3] Israeli authorities accused him of being responsible for 96 civilian deaths.[2]

Ibrahim Hamed was serving 45 life sentences in Israeli prison for orchestrating many suicide attacks in Israel that killed dozens of civilians.[4]

It appeared that Hamed was interned under consecutive 6-month administrative detention orders by the Israeli government.

Israel tried Hamed in military court, and on 27 June 2012 he was convicted of killing 46 people.[5]

In January 2025, the release of Hamed was agreed upon as part of the 2025 Gaza war ceasefire, aimed at securing the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza.[6]
