Abu Obaida’s Son Makes First Appearance and Scores 94 Percent in High School Finals

Talk about making a grand entrance! Ibrahim Hudhayfa Al-Kahlout, son of the well-known Abu Obaida, recently stepped into the spotlight, not just with his first public appearance but also by acing his high school finals with an impressive 94 percent. This exciting debut has everyone buzzing about the young man, who seems poised to make his own mark, carrying forward a significant legacy.

Journalist Mahmoud Al-Amoudi had the pleasure of introducing Ibrahim to the world, affectionately calling him ‘Ibrahim, son of the masked man,’ a clear nod to his father’s iconic public image. During their heartfelt chat, Al-Amoudi couldn’t help but praise Ibrahim’s incredible resilience, noting how he excelled academically despite facing personal challenges like injury, pain, and loss. Achieving a whopping 94 percent in high school is no small feat, especially under such circumstances, and Mahmoud Al-Amoudi proudly declared him the son of ‘the most prominent icon in the world now.’ When asked about his message to followers, Ibrahim Hudhayfa Al-Kahlout confidently affirmed, ‘God willing, we are on this covenant, and we will continue the march,’ promising to uphold the legacy and continue the path of those who preceded him. It was a truly inspiring moment, showcasing both academic brilliance and unwavering commitment.

Speaking of legacies, Abu Obaida himself has been a prominent and consistent public figure since his first press release way back in 2004. As the instantly recognizable spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, he has maintained a remarkably consistent image over the years. From his early appearances in 2005 all the way through to 2024, Abu Obaida has consistently appeared in military camouflage, always with his face covered by either a black balaclava or his distinctive red and white (and sometimes black) kuffiyeh. His green headband, emblazoned with the powerful Arabic script ‘كتائب القسام’ (Al-Qassam Brigades) and ‘لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله’ (There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the messenger of Allah), has become an iconic part of his public persona, delivering numerous speeches and statements throughout these two decades. This long-standing presence underscores his significant role and the enduring nature of his public image.
