3
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:19,608
The Israeli Defense Forces ( IDF ) recently carried out a hit attempt on Hamas chief Mohammed Sinwar , but its success is still unclear .
4
00:00:20,608 --> 00:00:26,904
According to Defense Minister Israel Katz , there are rising indications that Sinwar may have died in the attack .
5
00:00:27,904 --> 00:00:33,816
Katz made this statement during a meeting with the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Sunday .
6
00:00:34,816 --> 00:00:44,835
However , IDF sources later contradicted these claims , stating that they did not recognize foreign reports of Sinwar 's body being found with around a dozen of his aides .
7
00:00:45,835 --> 00:00:51,875
The IDF will wait for Hamas to officially confirm Sinwar 's death or its own intelligence regarding his body .
8
00:00:52,875 --> 00:01:03,405
The situation is complicated by the fact that Sinwar has been in control of 58 Israeli hostages since October 2024 , when his brother Yahya was killed by military forces in Rafah .
9
00:01:04,405 --> 00:01:13,656
One of the potential candidates to succeed Sinwar as Hamas 's military leader would have been Mohammed Shabana , who was also killed during a recent airstrike .
10
00:01:14,656 --> 00:01:21,016
Shabana 's death leaves only Az - adin - al - Hadad from the pre-war original five Hamas brigade commanders alive .
11
00:01:22,016 --> 00:01:26,456
Defense sources suggest that Hadad is likely to become Hamas 's next military chief .
12
00:01:27,456 --> 00:01:40,002
Meanwhile , reports from the Gaza Strip stated that Zakaria Sinwar , the brother of Yahya and Muhammad Sinwar , was killed along with his sons in an airstrike on a tent sheltering them in the Nuseirat refugee camp .
13
00:01:41,002 --> 00:01:46,594
The situation in Gaza remains volatile , with the recent hit attempt on Sinwar adding to the tensions .
14
00:01:47,594 --> 00:01:53,506
As the situation unfolds , it is essential to follow credible sources for updates on this developing story .
15
00:01:54,506 --> 00:02:02,210
The implications of Sinwar 's possible death will likely be far - reaching , affecting not only Hamas but also Israel and its hostages .
16
00:02:03,210 --> 00:02:08,994
In the context of the ongoing conflict in Gaza , Sinwar 's role as a leader has significant consequences .
17
00:02:09,994 --> 00:02:17,314
His potential death would have major repercussions for Hamas , which is already facing internal divisions and external pressures .
18
00:02:18,314 --> 00:02:23,906
The situation is complex , with many variables at play , making it challenging to predict the outcome .
