BREAKING NEWS: NETANYAHU SAYS HAMAS GAZA CHIEF MOHAMMED SINWAR WAS ELIMINATED -ISRAELI MEDIA

Sinwar, known as 'the shadow,' marks the end of Hamas's Gaza command structure

Netanyahu confirms ‘elimination’ of the last major Hamas leader as Israel's systematic decapitation campaign reaches its conclusion

The death of Mohammed Sinwar represents more than another tactical victory in Israel's war against Hamas—it signals the complete dismantling of the organization's Gaza command structure and potentially reshapes the entire dynamic of the conflict.

Netanyahu's confirmation that Israeli forces eliminated the younger Sinwar brother removes the last significant obstacle to any meaningful ceasefire negotiations. Unlike other Hamas leaders who operated from the relative safety of Qatar or Lebanon, Mohammed Sinwar remained embedded in Gaza's tunnel networks, moving with what Israeli officials called a "hostage belt"—captives positioned around him to deter assassination attempts. The fact that Israel found a window to strike him suggests either extraordinary intelligence penetration or a critical operational mistake by Hamas's remaining forces.
