Tel Aviv, June 29 — In a major breakthrough amid its ongoing conflict with Hamas, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Saturday night that it has eliminated one of Hamas’ top military commanders, Hakam Muhammad Isa Al-Issa. He is believed to have played a key role in orchestrating the October 7 terror attacks on Israeli soil.

According to the IDF’s official statement posted on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Isa Al-Issa was one of the founding members of Hamas’ military wing and was instrumental in strengthening the group’s operational capabilities.

Mastermind Behind October 7 Attacks

The IDF identified Al-Issa as a central figure behind the October 7 massacre, where Hamas launched an unprecedented multi-pronged assault on southern Israel. The attacks led to hundreds of deaths and triggered the latest escalation in the Israel-Gaza conflict.

Israeli military officials described Al-Issa as not only a strategic planner but also a key trainer and recruiter for Hamas’ armed units. His elimination is being viewed as a symbolic and operational blow to Hamas’ top leadership.

Ongoing Targeted Operations

Israel reaffirmed its commitment to hunt down every individual involved in the October 7 attacks. “This is part of our broader strategy to dismantle Hamas’ leadership and eliminate those responsible for orchestrating the mass terror inflicted on Israeli civilians,” the IDF stated.

No further operational details, such as the location or method of the strike, were shared by the Israeli military. However, intelligence sources suggest the operation was part of a larger campaign targeting Hamas’ command structures in Gaza and beyond.

Regional and Global Implications

The death of Isa Al-Issa, if independently verified, marks another high-profile kill in Israel’s campaign to neutralize Hamas leadership. It may have implications for the group’s ability to coordinate future attacks and maintain internal cohesion. However, analysts warn that such eliminations could also intensify hostilities in the short term.

So far, there has been no official confirmation or response from Hamas regarding Al-Issa’s reported death.
