Hamas confirmed the death of Mohammad Sinwar, Gaza military chief, months after an Israeli airstrike; his death marks a key change in Hamas leadership amid ongoing conflict.

  • Mohammad Sinwar was the younger brother of Yahya Sinwar, the Islamist faction's chief, who co-masterminded the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, and whom Israel had killed in combat a year later.
  • Israel identified the body of hostage Idan Shtivi, recovered from Gaza in a military operation this week that retrieved the remains of two hostages, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said on Saturday.
