Last week, the Israeli army announced that it targeted Issa during a raid on the Strip. However, the army was unable to confirm Issa's death, and Hamas remained silent on the matter.

But the army confirmed that there were no hostages in the vicinity of the attack.

According to a report I published guardian On Sunday, after the attack, Hamas communications stopped for 72 hours.

Intelligence expert Avi Melamed told the British newspaper that “a human asset,” or rather an official in the terrorist group, is the only one who can confirm “where and when Jesus was hiding.” [and] He will remain there until the Council of Ministers approves the operation and the Israeli army launches it.

He added that Israel “had to confirm that there were no Israeli prisoners being held near it as human shields.”
