They planned the Oct. 7 attack and are believed to have been directing military operations from the tunnels and backstreets of Gaza since.\nSome 1,200 people were killed and about 253 taken hostage on Oct. 7, according to Israeli tallies, the bloodiest attack in Israel's 75-year history.\nIn its wake, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government vowed to kill the three: Yahya Sinwar, Hamas' leader in Gaza, Mohammed Deif, head of the military wing, and Issa his deputy.\nIssa's death would be a major blow to Hamas, which has faced a relentless Israeli air and land campaign to destroy it, pulverising its Gaza Strip stronghold and killing nearly 32,000 people according to Palestinian authorities.\nHis killing could also complicate efforts to secure a ceasefire and hostage releases, although Israel says talks are ongoing through Egyptian and Qatari mediators.\nAsked about reports of his death, the Hamas source said they could be Israeli psychological warfare. He added that Issa had helped build Hamas' military capabilities including rockets.\nAccording to Hamas sources, Issa learned survival skills from Deif, who survived seven Israeli assassination attempts, leaving him disfigured and using a wheelchair.\nHOMES DESTROYED, SON KILLED\nIssa, who was born in 1965, was on Israel's most-wanted list and was injured in a 2006 assassination attempt during a meeting with Deif.\nIsraeli warplanes also destroyed his house twice during invasions of Gaza in 2014 and 2021, killing his brother.\nIssa’s son, a regular Hamas supporter, was killed by an Israeli airstrike in the central Gaza Strip in December.\nThe United States labelled Issa a \"Specially Designated Global Terrorist\" in September 2019. \nLike Deif, his features were unknown to the public until 2011 when he appeared in a group photo taken during an exchange of prisoners with Israel which he helped to organise.\nPalestinian sources have speculated the three top Hamas leaders have been hiding in long, complex tunnels under the enclave but they could be anywhere in Gaza, one of the most densely populated spots in the world.\nIssa, perhaps the least well known of the three, has been involved in many of Hamas' major decisions of recent years. All three were born into refugee families that had fled or been expelled in 1948 from areas in the newly created Israeli state.\nAll have spent years in Israeli prisons, Issa for five years from 1987.\nSinwar served 22 years after being jailed in 1988 for the abduction and killing of two Israeli soldiers and the murder of four Palestinian collaborators.\nHe was the most senior of 1,027 Palestinians that Israel freed in 2011 in exchange for one of its soldiers, Gilad Shalit, captured by Hamas in a cross-border raid five years earlier.\nIssa was among Hamas leaders who negotiated that. \nGerhard Conrad, a German Intelligence Agency mediator (BND) from 2009 to 2011, was among the few to have met Issa while negotiating Shalit's prisoner swap.\n\"He was very meticulous and a careful analyst: that's my impression of him. He knew the files by heart,\" Conrad told Al Jazeera television.\nHamas's secular rival, the Palestinian Authority, detained Issa and several other militants in connection with Hamas suicide attacks inside Israel in 1997. \nIsrael has killed Hamas' leaders in the past, including the group's founder Sheikh Ahmed Yassin and its former leader Abdel-Aziz al-Rantisi, assassinated in a 2004 air strike. \nNew commanders rose to fill their ranks.\n (Additional reporting by Nidal al-Mughrabi; Writing by Michael Georgy and Ahmed Elimam; Editing by William Maclean and Andrew Cawthorne)","kind":null,"is_publish_news":null,"is_publish_highlight":null,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.22.4","shortVersion":"4.22.4","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2420662229"}
