He is besides Sinwar’ — wrote the IDF on X.
Sinwar took over Hamas after the IDF killed his brother Yahya Sinwar and elder commander Muhammad Deif in October."Terrorists were eliminated during operations at an underground command and control center under the European infirmary in Chan Junis, deliberately endangering civilians in and around the hospital" — informed the IDF.IDF said Sinwar played "an crucial function in planning and carrying out the brutal massacre on October 7".This message came after both parties signalled their willingness to accept the US-sanctioned proposal.The operation besides killed Muhammad Shabana, commander of the Rafah Hamas Brigade, and Mehdi Kuwara, head of the Khan Younis Battalion of that organization.
IDF identified both as key agents for the attack on October 7th and taking Israeli hostages.Hamas did not confirm or deny Sinwar's death.
