Israel's Netanyahu says senior Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar was killed

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel killed senior Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar, apparently confirming his death in a recent airstrike on a hospital in the Gaza Strip. Speaking before parliament on Wednesday, Netanyahu included Sinwar in a list of Hamas leaders killed by Israel in the war-battered enclave.

Mohammed is the brother of Yahya Sinar, the Hamas leader and one of the masterminds of the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas massacre of more than 1200 Israeli men, women and children.

Israel has vowed to seize control of Gaza and fight until Hamas is destroyed or disarmed and exiled, and until the terrorist group returns the remaining 58 hostages. Only a third of them are believed to be alive. 

Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Wednesday's strikes destroyed the last plane used by the Houthi rebels, while the rebel-run al-Masirah TV said they had targeted a plane from the country’s flagship carrier Yemenia.

The strikes came after Iran-backed Houthi rebels fired several missiles at Israel in recent days, without causing casualties.
