Actually, I see a number of different issues.

The gnawed part of the leaf in the first photo suggests mice or large insects. I have seen roaches do that.

The spots that are black in the middle are indicative of a fungal infection.

The last two photos show mesophyll collapse, which is usually associated with drastic contact temperature changes.
