Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the elimination of Hamas’s Gaza chief, Mohammed Sinwar, in a military strike targeting the European hospital in Khan Younis on May 13, amidst ongoing conflict following Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack on Israel. This strike, which reportedly killed 28 people, aimed to dismantle Hamas’s underground infrastructure; however, Hamas has not confirmed Sinwar’s death.
