The radical Palestinian group Hamas has confirmed that its armed wing spokesperson Abu Obeida and the group’s former leader in Gaza Mohammed Sinwar were killed in Israel’s genocidal war earlier this year.
In a video statement released on Monday, the al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing, confirmed the death of its long-time spokesman and announced the appointment of a new masked spokesperson.
The Israeli military said in May that it had killed Mohammed Sinwar, the younger brother of former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. Three months later, it said Abu Obeida had also been killed.
