Overview

• Hamas released images naming Mohammad Sinwar and other senior figures as martyrs but offered no details on when or how he died.
• Israel, through Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, had said in May that an airstrike killed Sinwar.
• Izz al-Din Haddad, who oversees northern Gaza operations, is expected to assume broader command of Hamas’s armed wing across the enclave.
• Sinwar, the younger brother of slain Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, rose to a senior role after his brother’s death.
• Netanyahu framed Sinwar’s killing as part of a wider push to degrade Hamas’s leadership and governing capabilities.
