Media outlets in Gaza have reported the death of Zakaria Sinwar, brother of both former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and current de facto Hamas leader in Gaza, Muhammad Sinwar, in an Israeli airstrike carried out overnight in Nuseirat, located in the central Gaza Strip.

According to the reports, Zakaria Sinwar was killed alongside three of his children when an airstrike struck the tent where they were residing.

Zakaria Sinwar was a lecturer at the Islamic University in Gaza, and was not known to have a direct operational role in the Hamas military wing. However, his familial ties to two of the group’s most senior figures are significant.

The reports have not been officially confirmed by the Israeli military.

The news of Zakaria Sinwar’s death comes amid escalating Israeli operations across the Gaza Strip, part of an intensified campaign aimed at dismantling Hamas’s remaining leadership and infrastructure.

Shortly before the announcement of Zakaria’s death, a Saudi news outlet reported that the body of Muhammad Sinwar—a senior Hamas commander—was found in a tunnel in Khan Yunis, which was targeted in Israeli airstrikes last week. That report has also not been officially confirmed by Israeli authorities.

​
Meanwhile, Defense Minister Israel Katz reportedly tells the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that he believes Hamas leader Muhammad Sinwar was killed in an Israeli strike last week.

“There’s no official confirmation, but according to all the indications Muhammad Sinwar was eliminated,” Ynet cites Katz as saying.

Israel’s military has declared its current operations are focused on achieving what it calls the “complete defeat of Hamas,” including the elimination of key commanders and the destruction of tunnel networks used by the group.

Why don't the Palestinian Islamists declare total surrender, similar to what the Biafrans did, release all hostages, and live to fight another day if their demands are not met?

Hezbollah agreed to a ceasefire and chose to live to fight another day. Even when provoked by Israel, they recognized their weaknesses and toned down their actions.

Syria is not currently fighting Israel, even though Israel occupies some of their land. The negotiation table is meant for equal and opposing powers, not for a superpower and a group of insurgents.

See how Hamas have brought destruction and pain even upon their innocent children, wives and other innocent people and relatives by denying them from being alife till their ripe time and old ages just because of wrong Islamic ideology.

Destruction they wished upon isreal is what is now being paid to Hamas in their currencies of wickedness. God please, don't allow bad group of people religion wise or others that will bring bad luck to other innocent citizens to happen in any part of Nigeria. The one that are presently happening in of terrorism, banditry and militancy, please give our security men adequate knowledge, skill and protection to win the war in Nigeria and bring peace to this glorious land of ours you created us.

And I pray for the innocent in Gaza ing through pains unexpected, comfort them, offer them protection and give them courage to bounce back to better life where Hamas or any other Islamic group that may emerge with bad intention will not have dominion over them again. Isreal is fighting legitimate course to protect their people, keep protecting your people from enemies looking for way to destroy them by all means.

I pray for Nairaland owner too that he will continue to prosper and making more return legally on all his investment. May the bot he let loose that is banning post that even has no abuse or insult and denying legitimate people from contributing meaningfully to grow our society by not banning this post too. This bot usually allow bad posts of some with insults to go through, but will block or denying good reply that has no abusive intent. genei‹.
Nairaland bot should leave this post alone without banning it .

MadamExcellency:

I hope u know that it's not so easy for Hamas to surrender to the IDF like that cos if they do, they will loose face in Gaza and other powerful groups will see them as being weak and fight to conquer them thereby taking over government in Gaza.
