Since the outbreak of war in the Gaza Strip on October 7, Israel has continually announced its targeting of leaders and members of the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement.
It also vowed to assassinate the movement’s leaders, whether inside or outside the besieged Gaza Strip.
However, the Israeli army has now begun to investigate the possibility that Marwan Issa, deputy commander of the Al-Qassam Brigades, was killed in an air strike this week, according to what Israeli media reported on Monday.
It also indicated that Issa may have been killed in an air strike carried out last Saturday.
Deputy Muhammad Al-Deif
Although he was allegedly targeted 3 days ago, the Israeli army did not authorize the publication until this morning.
On the other hand, Hamas has not yet commented on these rumours.
Issa, who is deputy to Muhammad al-Deif, commander of the Qassam, is considered the third man in the senior leadership of Hamas.
Since last December, Israel has distributed to its forces 10,000 sets of cards containing 52 pictures of prominent “wanted” Hamas figures, including the movement’s leader, Yahya Sinwar, and the head of its military wing, Muhammad al-Deif.
While it vowed to pursue and assassinate them at home and abroad. An assassination operation was actually carried out in the heart of the southern suburb of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, early last January, which led to the killing of Hamas leader Saleh Al-Arouri.
It has also previously targeted many Hamas leaders internally and externally.
