The Israeli Prime Minister announced that Hamas’ leader was killed during a strike, according to Fox News.
Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that Israel had killed senior Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar. He made the announcement in a talk to the national legislature of Israel.
Sinwar had been one of Israel’s most coveted targets. He was the center of an Israeli strike on a hospital in southern Gaza earlier this month. Netanyahu said on May 21 that it was likely he had been killed. There was no confirmation from Hamas.
“In the 600 days of revival, we changed the face of the Middle East,” the Prime Minister 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.”
The Times of Israel reported that at least 16 people were killed, and 70 others were wounded in the May 13 strike, citing the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry.
The body of Sinwar was found in a tunnel in Khan Yunis, along with the bodies of ten of his aides, the outlet reported.
Sinwar was the younger brother of Yahya Sinwar, the group’s former leader, who was killed in an Israeli strike in October. Mohammed Sinwar took over the leadership of Hamas in the Gaza Strip and its military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, after his brother’s death.
