ISRAEL says it has killed one of the last masterminds behind the bloody October 7 attacks.
Senior Hamas commander Hakham Muhammad Issa Al-Issa was “eliminated” in a targeted airstrike on Gaza City, according to the IDF.
The Israel Defense Forces said Al-Issa — described as a founding member of Hamas’ military wing — was “eliminated” in an operation on the Sabra neighbourhood.
“Issa led Hamas’ force build-up, training, and planned the October 7 massacre,” the IDF posted on X.
As Head of Combat Support, he advanced aerial & naval attacks against Israelis.
“The IDF & [Israel Security Agency] will continue to locate and eliminate all terrorists involved in the October 7 massacre.”
According to Palestinian reports, Al-Issa was killed along with his wife and grandson, though this has not been independently confirmed.
The IDF later said it had verified his death.
Al-Issa is widely believed to have played a pivotal role in orchestrating the October 7 assault on southern Israel that triggered the current war, with terrorists slaughtering kidnapping dozens of innocent people.
