"Israel Confirms Killing of Senior Hamas Commander Marwan Issa in Gaza Strike"

Israel claims that senior Hamas commander Marwan Issa was killed in a Gaza strike two weeks ago, but Hamas has not confirmed his death. The Israeli military had previously targeted Issa in an air strike on an underground compound in central Gaza. If the claim is accurate, Issa would be the highest-ranking Hamas leader to have been killed in Gaza since the start of the Israeli assault in October. Israel has vowed to kill top Hamas leaders, but past assassinations have had little impact on the group's operations. The Israeli claim comes amid growing calls for Israel to halt its nearly six-month assault on Gaza, which has led to a high number of casualties and internal displacement.

"Israeli Airstrike Vaporizes Top Hamas Leader in Gaza, White House Confirms"

Marwan Issa, deputy commander of Hamas’ military wing, was killed in an Israeli airstrike, with Israeli sources suggesting that he was beyond the protection of "human shields" at the time. His location may have been revealed through interrogation or tracking of a mobile phone. Issa, known as "the shadow" for his rare public appearances, is the most senior Hamas leader to be killed since the Israeli offensive in Gaza began. IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi confirmed the strike, emphasizing the IDF's capability to eliminate senior officials underground with high precision. Issa, born in Gaza in 1965, was considered one of the most wanted men by Israeli officials and had learned survival skills from Hamas military commander Deif.

"Israeli Forces Kill Top Hamas Leader, Sparking Famine Warning in Gaza"

Marwan Issa, the No. 3 leader of Hamas, has reportedly been killed by an Israeli attack, dealing a significant blow to the Islamist militant group.

His death could complicate efforts to secure a ceasefire and hostage releases, and may impact Hamas' military capabilities. Issa, along with the other top Hamas leaders, had been targeted by Israel for their involvement in deadly attacks and military operations.
