Report: Senior Hamas terrorist was hiding underground when targeted, hostages were likely not around

Army Radio reports that an Israeli strike in the central Gaza Strip that may have killed Hamas’s third in command Marwan Issa targeted an underground complex in the Nuseirat refugee camp where he was suspected of hiding.

According to the vaguely sourced report, Israeli intelligence does not think hostages were being held at the site, with a source quoted as saying that had they been present “the strike would not have gone ahead.”
