War of Iron Swords: According to estimates, the body of senior Hamas leader Marwan Issa is still buried under the tunnel in Nusirat, and Hamas fears that Israel will try to reach the area first to retrieve his body and use it as a bargaining chip. This was published this evening (Sunday) in “Kan 11”, according to Palestinian sources privy to the details. In addition to Issa, Hamas realized that Razi Abu Taama, a major from the center camp, is also buried under the tunnel, and that his body may also be a bargaining chip. On the other hand, Hamas is afraid to send replacement teams to the place for fear of being attacked.

This morning it was published – the elimination was successful
This morning it was announced that Issa’s assassination was successful and he is no longer alive. This after Hamas confirmed in closed conversations that the senior official was killed in an air force attack about a week ago, and has since been buried under the rubble of the tunnel he was in, along with Taama. According to a report from today in the British Guardian newspaper, all Hamas communication systems between senior leaders were silent for more than 72 hours after the attack against Marwan Issa. The silence of the systems, which rely on encrypted applications and messengers, also happened after assassinations of senior Hamas officials in the past.
Since the assassination – Hamas has remained silent
A week ago, IDF warplanes attacked the Nusirat camp after accurate intelligence was received about Issa’s whereabouts. The IDF even attacked Hamas rescue squads stationed near the site, which were supposed to drive away the senior member of the terrorist organization if he survived the attack. Since then, the organization has maintained complete silence on the issue and has not issued an official statement on Issa’s condition. In Israel, estimates have increased that the elimination was successful, but they are waiting for certain information and have not yet announced that it was indeed eliminated.
