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.

Muhammad Sinwar, who assumed leadership of Hamas’s military wing and political command in Gaza after Yahya’s killing in October 2024, was considered one of the most influential figures in the organisation.

IDF denies reports of Hamas commander Mohammed Sinwar’s death in Gaza strike; awaits confirmation from Hamas or own intel.

The IDF carried out a hit attempt on Mohammed Sinwar on Tuesday, but it was unclear wether or not the mission succeeded.

Minister Israel Katz tells Knesset committee it is believed Hamas's leader in Gaza was eliminated, but there is no final verification yet.

The bodies of 10 of Sinwar's aides were found next to him • Among the candidates to replace him is the Gaza Brigade Commander • Minister Katz: 'According to all indications, Sinwar was eliminated'

With all of these developments overlapping, the IDF both starts conquering or taking control of new areas, as well as restarting the allowance of food aid into Gaza.
