Israel kills Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has disclosed that Israel has killed senior Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar.

Netanyahu disclosed this on Wednesday, May 28, 2025.

Speaking before parliament, Netanyahu included Sinwar in a list of Hamas leaders killed by Israel.

“We have killed ten of thousands of terrorists. We killed (Mohammed) Deif, (Ismail) Haniyeh, Yahya Sinwar and Mohammed Sinwar,” he said.

Netanyahu did not provide further details.

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.
