Israeli PM Netanyahu Announces Elimination of Hamas Gaza Leader Mohammed Sinwar

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the elimination of Mohammed Sinwar, the Hamas Gaza chief and younger brother of the late Yahya Sinwar, who was killed last year. Mohammed Sinwar assumed leadership of Hamas after his brother's death and was a key target for Israel, which has been systematically targeting senior Hamas leaders. While Netanyahu declared Sinwar's death, Israeli military sources have yet to confirm it, and Hamas has not commented. The announcement was made amid ongoing conflict and follows a recent deadly incident at an aid distribution hub in Gaza, which Israel has taken control of, prompting criticism from humanitarian groups and the UN. The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire due to an Israeli blockade restricting food, water, and aid, pushing the region toward famine. The UN and aid organizations have condemned Israel's new aid distribution system, warning it could be used to control and forcibly displace Palestinians.
