Hamas Confirms Death of Military Wing Brigade Leaders

The Palestinian Hamas movement has confirmed the deaths of Mohammed Sinwar, the leader of its military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, and its spokesperson Abu Obeida. This was stated in a message released by Hamas.

The Israel Defense Forces had previously announced in late May that Sinwar and several other senior Hamas figures had been killed during an airstrike in the southern Khan Younis area of Gaza. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz also confirmed the death of Hamas military spokesperson Abu Obeida in late August.
