New details about the attack in Gaza:

The British "Guardian" newspaper reported this morning (Sunday) that all communication systems between senior Hamas officials were silenced for 72 hours after the air strike on the Nuseirat refugee camp, which according to estimates was aimed at senior Hamas official Marwan Issa.

This is an action that was also taken in the past when senior Hamas officials were eliminated - something that could provide further evidence that Issa was indeed killed in the attack. According to the report, the communication systems of the senior members of the terrorist organization are based on encrypted applications and messengers.

As a reminder, this morning it was reported that Hamas also confirmed that the deputy head of the organization's military wing was killed in the attack on the tunnel he was staying in and that he was buried under the rubble. According to the on Kan Reshet Bet, the terrorist group did not confirm the matter officially, but in closed conversations - in which it was said that Issa was killed in an attack that happened a week ago. Along with him, the commander of the Hamas Central Camps Brigade, Razi Abu Tuama, who was with him in the tunnel, was also eliminated.

On the night between Saturday and Sunday a week ago, the IDF attacked the Nuseirat refugee camp following intelligence information that Issa was hiding in one of the tunnels underneath an apartment complex. The IDF launched successive strikes in the area, apparently in an attempt to prevent Hamas forces from approaching the stricken zone and rescuing their compatriots.

On the same day that the news of the assassination was allowed for publication, Prime Minister Netanyahu published a video in which he threatened the other leaders of Hamas, "because we are on the way to complete victory." "On the way to this victory, we have already eliminated Hamas' number 4 in command. 3, 2, and 1 are on the way. They are all destined for death, we will reach them all," promised the Prime Minister.
