Israeli media had reported that the younger Sinwar was the target of a May 13 strike on what the military said was a Hamas command center beneath the European Hospital in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, the Sinwars’ hometown.

The military declined to comment on whether Sinwar had been targeted or killed.

No fewer than six people were killed in the strike and 40 wounded, Gaza’s health ministry said at the time.

Mohammed Sinwar was elevated to the top ranks of the Palestinian militant group last year after Israel killed his brother Yahya Sinwar in combat during the ongoing war in Gaza.
