Hamas Leader Mohammed Sinwar, Brother of Eliminated Yahya Sinwar, Targeted In Massive Strike On Gaza Hospital Tunnels
Mohammed reportedly became Hamas military chief after Israel eliminated his notorious brother Yahya Sinwar in October 2024.
Israel targeted Mohammed Sinwar, a top Hamas commander and the brother of former terror chief Yahya Sinwar, in an airstrike in southern Gaza, the Israeli media reported Tuesday evening.
Mohammed had reportedly been elevated to the position of Hamas’ military chief following the elimination of his notorious brother in an Israeli strike seven months ago. “The target of the strike was Mohammed Sinwar, the brother of the dead Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar,” the Israel Hayom newspaper reported. “Muhammed Sinwar has effectively taken over his dead brother’s role as the leader of the Hamas military wing for the past several month,” the Israel daily noted.
While there was no official confirmation, some military officials suggested that the operation may have succeeded in taking out the intended target. “It is currently unknown if the strike was successful, but Israeli defense officials estimate that it was,” the Israeli news website Arutz Sheva disclosed.

Mohammed was hiding in a terror tunnel beneath a hospital-turned-terror base at the time of the strike.
Without naming him, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in a press release admitted carrying out “a precise struck on Hamas terrorists in a command and control center located in an underground terrorist infrastructure site beneath the European hospital in Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip.”

The Israeli news website Ynetnews reported the details of the operation:
The IDF and Shin Bet intelligence agency said Tuesday that they carried out a precision strike on Hamas operatives inside an underground command center beneath the European Hospital in Khan Younis, located in the southern Gaza Strip.
In a joint statement, authorities said the operation targeted a Hamas command-and-control hub embedded in what they described as “terrorist infrastructure” under the hospital.
Israeli officials said that the operation aimed to eliminate Mohammed Sinwar, head of Hamas’ military wing and brother of the group’s former leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, who was eliminated by Israeli forces last October. His fate remains unclear.
Footage of the strike was released following the operation, which Israeli officials described as a major action in their ongoing campaign against Hamas.
The Israeli security service believe that Mohammed was on his way to replacing his brother Yahya as the overall chief of Hamas terror group. “Security officials have long believed that Mohammed Sinwar replaced his brother, Yahya Sinwar, as the new Hamas leader after his assassination in October,” the Jerusalem Post observed.

Oh… What a shame.*
* Not really. I just didn’t want to sound callously indifferent to the death of a terrorist (which I actually am).
Bless his heart…
And the result is….
Saying he was targeted tells me nothing.
THE ISRAELI AIR FORCE DROPPED OVER 10 BUNKER BUSTER BOMBS IN THE GAZA STRIP, ATTEMPTING TO ELIMINATE MOHAMMAD SINWAR.
10 Bunker buster bombs is enough to eliminate the average terrorist. So whoever was there was evaporated, disintegrated, turned to dust.
That tells you: if Mohammad was there, they got him. If he wasn’t there, they didn’t
And the verdict is…..
but I repeat myself again
And the verdict is….
Oh, you want to know more. Did they get him or not?
As Deborah Kerr told Robert Mitchum: “Heaven Knows Mr Allison”
That is what I want to know. I want to know they shoved a bunker buster up in him where the sun don’t shine. Make my day!
Of course if they did get him from the amount of explosives used you might have to collect his remains with a spoon, or a wet vac,
BTW: Starship Troopers, the movie, uses the line “Do you want to more” frequently when the show their ersatz web. Always caused me to chuckle.
Unless the guy shows up live on tv I’m not sure how they are ever going to confirm he is vaporized.
Good question…
Sounds like Mohammed’s brother’s time is getting very *short.*. He won’t be missed and the sooner the better!
Let’s all send messages to his pager.
Like: “Get Well Soon” or “Duck”
Wherefore Art Thou Brother?
Hopefully in a soggy bottom.
[cue Bill Hader voice] Oh that’s TERRIBLE.
Hamas has incredibly fast advancement opportunities.
David Hogg is ambitious. I think he should send in his resume.
He may or may not agree with their goals or their various means but he absolutely will not tolerate their possession of semi-automatic (much less selective fire) rifles.
To be truthful I don’t care if Israel carries out gross strikes rather than precision strikes to take out a bunch of the murderers.
BOOM and dead. Screw you murdering terroris scum
if you look closely
the radio is tuned to
hava nagila
What does hamas hope to win at this juncture? They’ve already lost everything.
Hearts and minds, And they haven’t lost.
Yeah right like the last japanese soldier holed up in cave on okinawa saving the last grenade for himself.
Then the emperor surrenders and renounces his divinity.
They’re delusional fanatics. They fight because they have no other purpose.
Delusional Fanatics,just like the democrat here. To solve the problem don’t vote democrat.
This is the first article I have seen that indicated that the attack was against the tunnels hiding under the hospital rather than an attack against a hospital!
