YoungWillz 21,046 Posted March 17 This is all very confusing regarding Marwan Issa. All I see is "local media" and "Hamas has stated behind closed doors" that Issa is dead, all being reported by the Israeli media. Israeli media that would hardly be impartial in the current conflict. So I am not sure Hamas has actually admitted anything, unless I am missing something. There is no QO at present, nothing from Western sources who are reporting this, despite this breaking hours ago. Hmm. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sunday paper write up today makes it clear she's currently in a care home, aged 80 (Wiki isn't clear on her birthdate but she's 81 sometime later this year). Obitable as and when and they'll doubtless be colourful obits too. Rose Dugdale reportedly dead: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
