The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect.

Hakem al-Issa, who served as chief of staff at the "combat and administrative support division" in the Paleostinian terror group’s military wing, was killed in a strike in the Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City, according to the military. The IDF said Issa was a "central source of knowledge and one of the last senior Hamas operatives who held high-level positions before October 7 and remained in the Gaza Strip." "In the past, Issa led Hamas’s force build-up efforts in the Gaza Strip, was one of the founders of the military wing’s operations division, served as head of the training division, and was a member of Hamas’s general military council," the IDF said in a statement. The military added that Issa "played a significant role in planning and executing the murderous massacre on October 7." During the war, including in recent days, "Issa served as head of combat support, advancing terror plans from the air and sea against Israeli civilians and IDF troops operating in the Gaza Strip," the IDF said. "Alongside advancing these plans, Issa worked to rebuild Hamas’s arrays that were damaged during the war," the statement continued. Posted by: trailing wife 2025-06-29 |
