From NY Post: Hamas has officially confirmed the deaths of five senior leaders, marking one of the most significant blows to the terror organization since the start of the Gaza war, according to reports.
In a statement released on Monday by the group’s armed wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas said that Mohammed al-Sinwar, the brother of former Hamas leader Yahya al-Sinwar, was killed during Israeli military operations in Gaza, according to the Jerusalem Post.
Al-Sinwar had risen to a senior role within the organization and was widely viewed as a key figure in Hamas’ wartime command following the deaths of other top commanders.
The Israeli military had announced Al-Sinwar‘s death in May, saying he’d been hit in an airstrike targeting a Hamas command center.
Hamas also confirmed Abu Obeida, the longtime masked spokesman of the al-Qassam Brigades, has been killed. Obeida, whose real name was Hudhayfa Samir Abdullah al-Kahlout, had become the public face of the group’s military wing during the war, Reuters reported.
Another senior figure was confirmed dead. Raed Saad, a high-ranking commander within the al-Qassam Brigades, has also been killed, the Times of Israel reported.
The new spokesperson for Hamas's so-called military wing, the Izzadin al-Qassam Brigades, confirmed the deaths of Mohammad Sinwar, Abu Obeidah, Ra'ad Sa'ad, and other senior terror leaders killed by the IDF in the past year.
