In the final days of 2025, The Los Angeles Times briefly resurrected Hamas spokesperson Abu Obeida (also spelled Abu Ubaida) from the dead. A popular figure within the terror organization, Abu Obeida used his famed oratory skills to justify and call for the killing of Jews. The slain Hamas spokesman’s last speech on camera was in mid-July, not in September after his Aug. 30 death. A diligent terror mouthpiece to the very end, Abu Obeida issued his last written statement on Aug. 29, just one day before he was killed. The correction states:Gaza militias: An article in the Dec. 30 Section A said that Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida was last seen in a speech in September.
