Naji Maher Abu Sayf (10 April 1995 – 18 March 2025), known by the Nom de guerre Abu Hamza, was a Palestinian militant who served as the spokesperson of the al-Quds Brigades of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a Palestinian Islamist paramilitary organisation, until his assassination in March 2025.
In March 2019, Abu Hamza stated that if Israel killed protesting Palestinian civilians, it would bring "anything other than war" in reference to al-Quds Brigades intervention.
Abu Hamza and his wife, Shaima Abu Saif, were both killed in their sleep in a night air raid during the Gaza war on 18 March 2025.
