Hamas Confirms Killing of It’s Five Senior Leaders By Israeli Soldiers

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 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.

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 also said in May that he had been killed in an airstrike targeting a Hamas command center beneath the European Hospital in Khan Younis.

Hamas did not immediately specify the exact date of his death but acknowledged he had been killed early 2025.

Hamas also confirmed the death of Abu Obeida, the longtime masked spokesman of the al-Qassam Brigades, who became the public face of the group’s military wing during the war.

In its announcement, Hamas revealed for the first time that his real name was Hudhayfa Samir Abdullah al-Kahlout.

According to Israeli statements, Abu Obeida was killed in an Israeli strike on Gaza City in late August.
