Imad al-Alami

Imad Khalil al-Alami (1956 – 30 January 2018), also known as Abu Hammam, was a senior official in Palestinian militant organization Hamas. One of the group's co-founders, he joined Hamas in the late 1980s. After being exiled in 1994, al-Alami became a key link between Gaza and the Syrian and Iranian governments, functioning as Hamas's first representative in Tehran.

Al-Alami returned to Gaza in 2012, and was the Deputy Chief in the Gaza Strip from 2013 to 2017.
