Mabhouh TV series, by Dr-Mahmoud al-Zahar

Dr-Mahmoud Al Zahar, a senior leader of the Islamic resistance movement Hamas has announced early of this month his new dramatic work, narrating the life and death of Ezzedeen Al Qassam senior leader Mahmoud al-Mabhouh who has been assassinated by the Zionist Mossad agents in Dubai.

Dr-Mahmoud Al Zahar mentioned that he is writing a script for a TV series on the life and death of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, a senior leader of the military wing of Hamas killed by Mossad.

Al-Zahar told a conference of Palestinian writers in Gaza this week he is currently working on the script.

Mabhouh’s life is certainly worthy of a television drama. Born and raised in Gaza, he was forced to flee the Strip in 1989 due to an IOF manhunt after him. From that time until his death, at the age of 50, he served Hamas from abroad.

The Hamas commander was found dead of unknown causes in his hotel room in Dubai in January, a day after arriving at the emirate. Dubai Police soon found the Mossad responsible.

Al-Zahar says the series will educate the public on a leader who gave his life for the homeland, and preserve his story for posterity, “for which we hope he will set an example”.

Al Zahar’s new dramatic work is not the first, previously he wrote his first dramatic work shown in a movie script about Emad Akel, commander of the Hamas’s military wing who was assassinated by the Zionist occupation in Gaza, in 1993.

Dr-Mahmoud Al-Zahar is a doctor by profession and is one of Hamas major leaders who played an important role in confronting Zionist occupation projects on the Palestinian lands, he was injured severely and he lost two of his sons, the older son Khalid was killed in the Zionist strike targeted their house in 2003 and the other son Hossam who was killed while resisting Zionist invasion east of Gaza city.
