Netanyahu told parliament while reading a list of Hamas leaders killed in Israeli blitzes: “We eliminated Mohammed Sinwar.”
It comes after reports that the chief had likely been killed in an Israeli airstrike last week.
Defence Minister Israel Katz reportedly revealed on May 19 that the body of Muhammad Sinwar had been discovered in a tunnel in Khan Younis.
Sinwar took command from his older brother Yahya Sinwar, the architect of the October 7 attacks, after the boss was killed by the IDF in October 2024.
