GAZA CITY – The Palestinian group Hamas confirmed on Saturday the death of its Gaza military chief Mohammad Sinwar, a few months after Israel said it killed him in a strike in May.
Hamas did not provide details on Sinwar’s death but published pictures of him along with other group leaders, describing them as “martyrs.”
Mohammad Sinwar was the younger brother of Yahya Sinwar, the chief of the movement’s military wing, who co-masterminded the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, and whom Israel had killed in combat a year later.
