There has been no statement from the Al-Qassam Brigades, whether denying or confirming what the Occupation Army announced so far.
Earlier statements by US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan confirmed the death of Marwan Issa in an Israeli airstrike.
Palestinian reports indicated the death of 5 civilians and the injury of 9 others in the airstrike. The bombing was accompanied by internet and electricity outages.
