Breaking: Netanyahu Announces Elimination of Hamas Gaza Chief

Hamas Gaza Chief Mohammed Sinwar Reportedly 'Eliminated' by Israel, Netanyahu Announces Jerusalem, May 28, 2025 – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a significant announcement today, stating that Hamas's Gaza chief, Mohammed Sinwar, has been 'eliminated'. This declaration follows reports of a series of Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) air strikes in the Gaza Strip. The news is still developing, and official confirmation is pending. Sky News' Middle East Correspondent, Alistair Bunkall, provided insight into the situation. He explained that intelligence suggested Sinwar was located in the tunnels beneath a hospital, a detail that allowed the IDF to target him without endangering hostages. Bunkall added a note of caution, stating, "Getting confirmation is pretty difficult because they cannot get IDF soldiers to the scene." The reported elimination of Sinwar is a major development in the ongoing conflict. Sinwar's brother, Yahya Sinwar, was a previous Hamas leader, and Mohammed's death could significantly impact Hamas's command structure and the ongoing negotiations for a ceasefire. The situation remains tense and further updates are expected.
