Israeli Prime Minister (PM) Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Wednesday the killing of Mohammed Al-Sinwar, a senior Hamas figure in the Gaza Strip and the younger brother of the late Hamas leader Yahya Al-Sinwar.
Mohammed Al-Sinwar, who served as a professor of modern and contemporary history at the Islamic University in Gaza, was also reported to be the brother of Zakaria Al-Sinwar, and related to former Hamas leader Yahya Al-Sinwar.
Netanyahu also stated that 20 hostages are still alive in Gaza, while 28 have died.
He noted that Israel has managed to retrieve 197 hostages from Gaza, attributing this to sustained military pressure on Hamas.
"In a time when the opposition is working to tarnish my reputation, I am tirelessly working to bring back all the abductees," Netanyahu said.
