The Israeli military has released photos of the luxurious villa owned by Marwan Issa, one of the top leaders of the military wing of Hamas.

The opulent residence, located in the Bureij region, features a beautiful garden, a swimming pool, a jacuzzi, and elegant furnishings.

Over the past decade, all of the Hamas officials have accumulated significant wealth.
