Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that Israel had killed senior Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar.
HAMAS TERROR LEADER YAHYA SINWAR KILLED IN GAZA, ISRAEL SAYS “In the 600 days of revival, we changed the face of the Middle East,” Netanyahu said according to the Times of Israel.
“We removed the terrorists from our territories, entered the Gaza Strip, and killed [Mohammed] Deif, [Ismail] Haniyeh, Yahya [Sinwar], and Mohammed Sinwar.”
Mohammed Sinwar assumed leadership of Hamas in the Gaza Strip and its military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, after his brother’s death.
Yahya Sinwar, meanwhile, planned and executed the October 7 massacre, according to the IDF and Israel’s Shin Bet intelligence agency.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on Wednesday that Mohammed Sinwar, a senior Hamas leader, had been killed by Israel.
In a speech to Israel’s national legislature, the Knesset, Netanyahu made the announcement. The terrorist leader had “apparently” been killed, according to the Israeli leader’s previous statement.
One of Israel’s top targets was Sinwar. Israel struck a hospital in southern Gaza earlier this month, targeting him, and Netanyahu stated on May 21 that it was likely he had been killed. No confirmation from Hamas was provided.
According to Israel, Hamas terrorist leader Yahaya Sinwar was killed in Gaza.
According to the Times of Israel, Netanyahu claimed that “we changed the face of the Middle East in the 600 days of revival.”. “After driving the terrorists out of our areas, we invaded the Gaza Strip and murdered Mohammed Sinwar, Yahya [Sinwar], [Ismail] Haniyeh, and [Mohammed] Deif. “.
The outlet cited the Gaza Health Ministry, which is run by Hamas, and said that the May 13 strike killed at least 16 people and injured 70 more.
The outlet said that the bodies of ten of Sinwar’s aides and Sinwar himself were discovered in a tunnel in Khan Yunis.
The last moments of Hamas leader Sinwar were captured by an IDF drone.
Sinwar is the younger brother of Yahya Sinwar, the group’s previous leader, who was killed in an October Israeli strike. Following his brother’s passing, Mohammed Sinwar took over as leader of Hamas in the Gaza Strip and its military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades.
Any agreement to free the hostages would have been finalized by Mohammed Sinwar, and his passing could make matters more difficult for U.S. S. . as well as Arab attempts to mediate a ceasefire. Until all hostages are returned and Hamas is either vanquished or disarmed and forced into exile, Israel has vowed to keep up the war.
Meanwhile, the IDF and Israel’s Shin Bet intelligence agency claim that Yahya Sinwar planned and carried out the October 7 massacre.
“[He] was responsible for the murder and kidnapping of numerous Israelis, and he propagated his murderous ideology both before and during the war,” the statement said.
