WP:BLP1E The only notable coverage in reliable sources seems to be about him not dying in an airstrike where some of his family was killed. Phil (talk) 23:28, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – I note that there are many search results of his name in Arabic. I cannot judge the amount of significant coverage available because of my language barrier. A review of sources per WP:GNG should include a search for sources in Arabic and in Hebrew. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 23:47, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect and Merge with Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine, I see little evidence of independent notability but that could very well change. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 23:54, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Looking at the sources from the Arabic Wikipedia article, I think they constitute significant coverage. Russia Today calls him "the strongest figure within the Islamic Jihad movement". Al-Khaleej calls him "head of the military branch of Islamic Jihad." And al-Sharq al-Awsat covers his ties with Iran. 90% of the articles about him are from the last month, but I don't think he falls under BLP1E becasue he got some coverage in 2018 for being elected to the political bureau of PIJ (e.g. [1]). --Cerebellum (talk) 13:00, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - as per Cerebellum. He seems to be mentioned as a senior Islamic Jihad commander in independent reliable sources and we shouldn't allow ourselves to be biased against pages with non-English sources. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:47, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
