Israel said Wednesday its military killed Mohammed Sinwar, Hamas' presumed Gaza leader and the brother of Yahya, the slain mastermind of the October 2023 attacks that sparked the Gaza war.

Israeli media said Sinwar was targeted by strikes in southern Gaza earlier this month. His brother was killed in October 2024.
