White House official Jake Sullivan has said that senior Hamas figure Marwan Issa has been killed by Israel in Gaza.
Sullivan confirmed that Israeli forces had killed Marwan Issa, the deputy commander of Hamas’s military wing in Gaza, and one of the masterminds of the 7 October attacks, in an operation last week, one of thousands of Hamas fighters he said had been killed. But he added: “a military plan cannot succeed without an integrated humanitarian plan and political plan.”
Neither Hamas or Israel have officially commented on the reports.
