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

Ibrahim Hamed is serving 45 life sentences in Israeli prison for orchestrating many suicide attacks in Israel that killed dozens of civilians.[3]

It appears 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.[4]
