Hudhayfah Tayseer Ayesh Al-Najjar (حذيفه تيسير عايش النجار)

• Death: Hudhayfah Tayseer Ayesh Al-Najjar (حذيفه تيسير عايش النجار) was killed on October 28, 2023, reportedly in an Israeli airstrike that targeted the Al-Farra family home in the center of Khan Younis, where he was staying.
• Journalistic Association: The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS) described Hudhaifa Tayseer Al-Najjar as a journalist. The claim was uncritically repeated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), which published a letter from Mounir Anastas, the Ambassador and Permanent Delegate of the State of Palestine to UNESCO. In the letter, Anastas listed Hudhaifa Tayseer Al-Najjar as a journalist casualty and accused the “Israeli occupying army” of “deliberately targeting journalists with no constraints or consequences.” Meanwhile, the transparency watchdog and investigative organization Airwars “mistakenly” classified him as a civilian casualty of war.
• Militant Affiliation: Aqmar Tofan (أقمار الطوفان), a Telegram channel that commemorates Al-Qassam militants killed during the ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’ (Tufan al-Aqsa), published an obituary identifying Hudhaifa Tayseer Al-Najjar as a Qassam fighter in the Artillery Battalion of the Khan Yunis Brigade.

Update (June 23, 2026): The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades’ Military Media Department now lists Hudhayfah Tayseer Ayesh Al-Najjar on its “martyrs” page.
