Israel prepares to ‘conquer’ and ‘clear out’ all of Gaza
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he plans to “take over” Gaza and move the civilian population southward.
JERUSALEM − Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Hamas Gaza chief, Mohammad Sinwar, one of its most wanted and the younger brother of the group’s deceased leader, Yahya Sinwar, had been killed.
The annoucement was made May 28.
Mohammad Sinwar was elevated to the top ranks of the Palestinian militant group last year after Israel killed his brother Yahya in combat during the ongoing war in Gaza.
Yahya Sinwar masterminded the October 2023 attack on Israel that triggered the war, and was later named the overall leader of the group after Israel killed his predecessor Ismail Haniyeh in Iran.
