According to media reports, Israeli Defense Minister Katz believes that the brother of the late Hamas leader Yehya al-Sinwar may have been killed in an attack in the Gaza Strip a few days ago.
“Although there is no official confirmation, all signs indicate that Mohammed Singwar has been eliminated,” news website YNET quoted Katz as saying at the committee meeting.
Mohammed al-Sinwar is the younger brother of Yehya al-Sinwar, who is believed to be the mastermind of the attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 and was killed by the Israeli military in Gaza last October. After Mohammed Deif's death in July, he became head of the Hamas armed wing.
Israeli media reported that the attack was targeted at Mohammed al-Sinwar after an Israeli attack in Khan Yunis in southern Gaza Strip on Tuesday, but officials declined to comment.
According to the hospital, several people died during the strike. The Israeli military said it had carried out “precision attacks” against Hamas terrorists in the command and control centers.
According to an unconfirmed Arab media report, the body of Mohammed Singwar was found in a tunnel in Khan Yunis. Asked on Sunday morning, the Israeli military was unable to confirm this.
