Marwan Issa
Marwan Issa was a prominent military commander within Hamas and a key member of the group's War Council, which orchestrated the unprecedented attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. His strategic role in the council was marked by a high level of secrecy and security, contributing to decisions that significantly impacted the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Following the escalating violence and the resultant humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Issa's involvement in the council has drawn scrutiny regarding the motivations and strategic choices made during this tumultuous period. His recent death in the ongoing conflict has intensified concerns about the future leadership and direction of Hamas amid a critical leadership vacuum.
