Marwan Issa (born 1965) is a Palestinian militant who is the deputy commander-in-chief of Hamas' military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades.[1]
Some sources claim Issa was named the group’s leader following the death of Ahmed Jaabari in an Israeli attack in 2012. However, Issa remains deputy commander to Hamas leader Mohammed Deif, but serves as a representative for the Brigades in Hamas’s political bureau.[2]
In 2007, Issa survived a targeted attack by Israeli forces.[3] He is also known by his nom-de-guerre as Abu Baraa.[4]
He was designated as a terrorist by the United States on 10 September 2019.[5]
