Survived 5 other attacks?

If this is true and not hearsay, a reference should be included.

Hamas did his face reveal

One of those faces in the background is him (youtube video) and is probably the guy above 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 09:49, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, also showed Marwan Issa which is consistent with other released images. They also released individual posters and he is named on them The Great Mule of Eupatoria (talk) 04:51, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why can’t we edit the page? 4th paragraph down there is a sentence that states “His wife, infant son, and 3-year-old daughter were killed in an Israeli airstrike in 2014.” He wasn’t killed in an air strike in 2014, it was 2024! This is such an easy edit, the sentence needs deleted! Stubbleboy23 (talk) 13:03, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Remove categories Category:Fugitives wanted on war crimes charges and Category:Fugitives wanted by the International Criminal Court. He was a fugitive, but he is dead and therefore can no longer be considered a fugitive from justice. EllieDellie (talk) 19:37, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Minor grammatical error (format using {{textdiff}}):

“He was the central figure in Gaza war and one of the mastermind who initiated the October 7 attacks, alongside Yahya Sinwar.” Should be reworded to “He was a central figure during the Gaza war. He, alongside Yahya Sinwar planned and initiated the October 7 attacks.” Dellwood546 (talk) 19:20, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done: I copy-edited the sentence to remove the grammatical errors, although I improved slightly on your proposed wording. Day Creature (talk) 18:36, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
