KAN reported that Ibrahem's family played key roles in the IDF, with three of his brothers serving as officers in the Combat Engineering Corps, and his grandfather was killed in and IDF operation in Tulkarm in 1968. His father served in the Israel Police.
Ibrahem was previously interviewed by KAN, and was quoted as stating, "We do quite a lot, and what we do is significant," and added that "In the end we want to destroy Hamas, we didn't enter Gaza to teach it a lesson. We need to make sure it doesn't exist after that, and stay inside until we finish the job. We're far from finished."
He also spoke to KAN about the heavy costs of war, but spoke of the spirit of soldiers, "War has heavy costs, but the importance of what we do inside wins everything. It's hard inside [Gaza], but the spirit of the soldiers is stronger."
