A recent video that has gone viral on social media purportedly shows the martyr Muhammad Samir Qunaita adorning the late spokesperson for Hamas's Al-Qassam Brigades, known as Abu Ubaida, with a mask. This emotionally charged moment underscores the secrecy and operational discipline within the ranks of the brigades, reflecting a significant ceremonial aspect of their military culture.

Qunaita, who worked in the military media section of the Al-Qassam Brigades, was reported to have been killed on May 19, 2025. Activists have been quick to associate the video with his memory, emphasizing his role in documenting resistance efforts and highlighting key figures within the military faction. The release of this video follows a recent trend of sharing images of martyrs linked to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, particularly those referenced in a series entitled "Flood's Stars," which aims to rekindle public focus on the figures who have died in the struggle.

The emotional responses to the video on social media underline its impact, as users reflect on the personal and communal losses suffered during the conflict. By tying Qunaita's contribution to the military narrative of the "Flood of Al-Aqsa" campaign, the piece not only honors his memory but also reinforces collective sentiments around the broader context of resistance and sacrifice emphasized by the Al-Qassam Brigades leaders.
