Hamas chief Mohammed Sinwar likely killed in Gaza strike: Israeli PM Netanyahu
PTC News Desk: Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced that Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar has been killed. An Israeli air strike on a hospital in southern Gaza earlier this month targeted Sinwar.
However, Hamas has not confirmed the death of its chief Sinwar yet. Sinwar assumed the role of Iran-backed organisation's chief in October 2024 after his brother Yahya Sinwar was killed in Israeli strike in Southern Gaza.
Addressing a press conference in Jerusalem, the first in five months, Netanyahu said "We eliminated tens of thousands of terrorists. We eliminated the leaders of the murderers Deif, Haniyeh, Yahya Sinwar and it appears we also eliminated Mohammed Sinwar."
"Our forces are seizing more and more territory in Gaza. At the end of the move, all areas of the Strip will be under Israeli security control," he added.
Netanyahu also rejected the speculations of fallout with US government. Meanwhile, Israel military said that they have allowed 100 aid trucks carrying flour, baby food and medical equipment into the Gaza Strip.
