BREAKING: Israeli Air Strike Kills Hamas Leader Mohammed Sinwar As Gaza War Continue
Israel said Wednesday its military killed Mohammed Sinwar, Hamas’s presumed Gaza leader and the brother of Yahya, the slain mastermind of the October 2023 attacks that sparked the Gaza war.
“We drove the terrorists out of our territory, entered the Gaza Strip with force, eliminated tens of thousands of terrorists, eliminated… Mohammed Sinwar,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told parliament.
Israeli media outlets reported Sinwar was targeted in Israeli air strikes in southern Gaza earlier this month. His brother was killed in October 2024.
Wednesday’s announcement came as the United Nations condemned a US- and Israeli-backed aid system in Gaza after dozens of people were hurt in chaotic scenes at a food distribution site.
Israel’s military denied allegations that its forces had fired on the crowds.
