Biography
Wissam Farhat was born in 1974 to Umm Nidal.[3][4][5] Three of his brothers -- Nidal, Muhammad, and Rawad were killed for their Hamas activities.[3]
Farhat was arrested on March 20, 1995 on charges of transporting 6 bags of explosives into Israel, which Israel alleged was an attempt to carry out a suicide bombing in Israel.[3][2] He spent almost 11 years in Israeli prison, including 2 years in Ashkelon, 6 years in Nafha, and 2 and a half years in Hadarim. He was released from Israeli prison in November 2005, three weeks after his brother Rawad was killed by Israel.[3]
While in prison, Farhat learned of his younger brother Muhammad's participation in the Atzmona attack, in which Muhammad killed 5 Israeli civilians and wounded 12 others. Their other brother Nidal was previously killed.[3]
After his release from prison in 2005, Farhat returned to Gaza and helped to create rockets for Hamas.[2] Then he became a battalion commander for Hamas in Shejaiya.[2]
He planned the execution of a 2002 Atzmona Massacre that killed five Israeli civilians.[2]
He was the mastermind behind the 2011 attack on a bus near Nahal Oz that killed a child.[2]
Death
On December 2, 2023, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) killed Farhat in an airstrike during the 2023 Israel-Hamas war. The IDF identified Farhat as the commander of Hamas's Shejaiya battalion responsible leading the Nahal Oz attack during the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel and for an incident during the Battle of Shuja'iyya in 2014 in which 7 IDF soliders were killed, including Oron Shaul.[1]
On December 8, 2023 the military wing of Hamas, Al-Qassam Brigades, published a video showing footage of close-range battles in Shuja'iyya that resulted in the destruction of an IDF tank, and a Qassam militant is heard shouting "for your sake, Abu Hussein!" referring to Farhat.[6]
