The achievement comes despite personal losses, including the deaths of his parents, two sisters, and brother in an ‘Israeli’ airstrike during the ongoing assault on Gaza.

The post, written in Arabic, begins with praise to God for enabling him to pass this milestone. He dedicates his success to the "souls of the martyrs of my people," placing his family at the forefront and invoking mercy upon them.
Ibrahim credits his parents' emphasis on academic excellence throughout his upbringing, quoting a prayer: "Lord, have mercy on them as they raised me when I was young."
Hudhayfah al-Kahlout, who adopted the nom de guerre Abu Obaida, served as the public face of Hamas's armed operations for years, delivering messages in a distinctive masked appearance.
He, along with his wife and other children, was killed in an ‘Israeli’ airstrike.
