Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Mohammed Sinwar, a top Hamas leader and brother to Yahya Sinwar, has been killed in an Israeli airstrike. The strike marks another major blow to Hamas’ leadership amid the ongoing Gaza offensive.
- Netanyahu announced during a parliamentary briefing on Wednesday.
- Sinwar had assumed a key leadership role in Hamas after his brother Yahya was killed in October.
- He was reportedly targeted in an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital earlier this month.
- His death follows the elimination of other senior figures, including Mohammad Deif and Ismail Haniyeh.
- Hamas has not yet released an official response.
The killing of Mohammed Sinwar is part of a broader Israeli campaign aimed at dismantling Hamas’ senior ranks. Netanyahu’s declaration signals confidence in Israel’s military progress but may also escalate tensions as the war in Gaza continues. The silence from Hamas suggests internal shock or strategic delay in response.
With Sinwar gone, Israel claims a strategic win, but the long-term implications remain uncertain. As the conflict deepens, the human cost and political stakes continue to rise, both within Gaza and across the region.
