Gaza: Hamas boss Mohammed Sinwar killed
According to Israeli information, the head of the terrorist organization Hamas is dead. “We have eliminated Mohammed Sinwar,” says Prime Minister Netanyahu.
According to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Mohammed Sinwar, the Israeli army killed the alleged boss of the radical Islamic Hamas in the Gaza Strip. “We eliminated Mohammed Sinwar,” said Netanyahu on Wednesday at a meeting of the Israeli parliament. Mohammed Sinwar is the brother of the former Hamas boss Jahja Sinwar, who was killed by the Israeli army in mid-October.
Hamas boss killed with air raid
According to Israeli media reports, Mohammed Sinwar was hit on Chan Yunis in the south of the Gaza Strip on May 13th. The Israeli army said that it had attacked an underground “Hamas Command and Control Center” under the European Hospital in Chan Junis.
The radical Islamic Hamas, which controlled the Gaza Strip, initially did not respond to the announcement of Netanyahus.
Jahja Sinwar was accused by Israel to have planned the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, who had triggered the war in the Gaza Strip. According to Islamism experts, Mohammed Sinwar led the Al-Kassam brigades, the armed arm of Hamas.
After the death of several Hamas leaders in the past 19 months, Mohammed Sinwar is said to have been significantly involved in the decisions about indirect negotiations with Israel on the release of Israeli hostages.
