Four days after the attack in the Nusirat refugee camp, the IDF recognizes that Marwan Issa is still out of touch, has not responded and there are no signs from him that indicate that he is alive. It is increasingly likely that Issa is the deputy of Muhammad Daf – the head of the military wing of Hamas and the man who links her with the wing The Ministry, Khosal and the IDF are still waiting for unequivocal intelligence to determine this.
Today it can be discovered that in the hours after the bombing of the compound where he was staying, there was an attempt by Hamas to arrive with shovels and baggers to try and rescue Issa, and Israel attacked Hamas’ heavy equipment in order to prevent his rescue attempts.
In the Air Force attack on the night between Saturday and Sunday, during which the Issa assassination attempt was carried out, bunker-penetrating bombs were used, as well as extremely heavy bombs. In the documentation published by the IDF spokesman, we see a large explosion followed by small explosions – of the shafts and tunnel openings.

IDF spokesman Brigadier General Daniel Hagari commented on the attack and said that together with Issa, the former commander of the center camp, Razi Abu Tamaa, was there. According to Hagari: “According to all the intelligence indications, as well as those we had when the attack was confirmed, there were no Israeli hostages in the area.”
Issa, 59 years old, was actually responsible for the planning of many terrorist attacks in Israel – including the October 7 massacre. In contrast to the top of the terrorist organization, Issa over the years made sure to keep a low media profile and appeared little in public. He served five years in an Israeli prison for his activities in the organization and was arrested on several occasions by the Palestinian Authority.
