On 10 March 2024, Marwan Issa, the deputy commander of Hamas' military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, was killed by an Israeli airstrike as part of the Israel–Hamas war. Israel announced the targeting of an underground facility in Nuseirat in the central Gaza Strip, allegedly used by Issa, airing footage of the strike and noting that the results were still being analyzed. Five Palestinians were reportedly killed in the bombing.[1] Hamas did not respond until it privately confirmed Issa's death on 17 March.[2]
