Saudi outlet Al-Hadath reports said Sinwar's body was found inside a tunnel in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip, alongside the remains of 10 aides. Mohammed Shabana, commander of the Rafah Brigade, was also killed in the strikes alongside Sinwar, the report added.

Never in the past 40 years has Hamas had so many leaders and commanders killed - if the goal is to replace Hamas, now would be the time.

Yahya Sinwar’s brother is one of the last remaining leaders who planned the Oct. 7, 2023, attack that launched the war.
