HAMAS commander and top target Marwan Issa has been killed in an Israeli airstrike.
One of Yahya Sinwar’s henchmen, Issa was one of the IDF’s highest profile targets following the horrors of Hamas’ October 7 massacre.

He was killed on March 10 during an operation in the Gaza Strip, IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari confirmed today.
Issa was the deputy commander of Hamas’ military wing, and died alongside another top terror chief – Ghazi Abu Tamaa.
The terror boss reported directly to Sinwar, the monster dubbed “The Hamas Bin Laden” who masterminded the October massacre in Israel.
He was at the top of Israel’s most-wanted list, alongside Mohammed Deif and Sinwar.
Israeli forces are still hunting both, despite some reports Deif was killed in an earlier strike.
Deif has been one of the IDF’s most-wanted men for decades and has dodged over a dozen assassination attempts and countless strikes from Israel over the years.
Hagari said today: “We have checked all the intelligence.
“Marwan Issa was eliminated in the strike we carried out around two weeks ago.”
Issa died during a strike in Nuseirat, a refugee camp in the middle of the Gaza Strip where he was hiding.
The US announced his death days ago, but Israel has just verified the information.
As Israel continues its campaign to round up and eliminate the remaining Hamas masterminds, Yahya Sinwar has reportedly dropped off the radar even inside his own terror cell.
The IDF has vowed to catch him “dead or alive”.
And Israel’s military chiefs have vowed their offensive must not end until the terror boss is dead.
But defence minister Yoav Gallant claimed Hamas is now frantically looking for a replacement for Sinwar, who is said to have been uncontactable for weeks.
