US EditionHamas Gaza Chief Mohammad Sinwar Has Been 'Eliminated,' Says Benjamin Netanyahu
- On May 28, 2025, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that senior Hamas commander Mohammad Sinwar has been killed in Gaza amid intensified military efforts.
- Sinwar's death follows a prolonged conflict triggered by the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack led by his brother Yahya Sinwar, which killed around 1,200 Israelis and took over 250 hostages.
- The Israeli military conducted precise strikes targeting Hamas command centers, including one below a hospital in southern Gaza, as part of a campaign to dismantle Hamas leadership amid a collapsed March ceasefire.
- Netanyahu announced the elimination of Sinwar and stated that recent developments represent a significant step toward fully defeating Hamas, while Israel assumes control over a newly established U.S.-supported aid distribution system in Gaza.
- This announcement suggests Israel aims to weaken Hamas’s command amidst ongoing hostilities, although Hamas has not confirmed Sinwar’s death, and Gaza faces worsening humanitarian conditions and leadership voids.
