Hamas’ Gaza chief eliminated, says Bibi
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that Israel had eliminated Hamas Gaza chief Mohammad Sinwar, one of its most wanted targets and the younger brother of the group’s deceased leader, Yahya Sinwar.
Mohammad Sinwar had been the target of an Israeli strike on a hospital in southern Gaza earlier this month and Netanyahu said on May 21 that it was likely he had been killed.
“We eliminated Mohammad Deif, (Ismail) Haniyeh, Yahya Sinwar and Mohammad Sinwar,” Netanyahu said, confirming the death to the Israeli parliament, known as the Knesset.
Hamas has yet to confirm Sinwar’s death. Yahya Sinwar, his brother, masterminded the October 2023 attack on Israel.
