Hamas has yet to comment on Israeli army claims their forces killed the group’s leader in southern Gaza on Wednesday.
Israel has claimed its forces have killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in an attack in the southern Gaza Strip.
The Israeli military confirmed Sinwar’s death on Thursday, but Hamas has not yet commented on the claim.
According to the Israeli military statement, Sinwar was killed on Wednesday after soldiers “eliminated three fighters.”
In August, Hamas appointed its Gaza leader, Sinwar, as the group’s political bureau head to succeed Ismail Haniyeh. Haniyeh was assassinated during a visit to Iran on July 31.
