GAZA (Reuters): Hamas confirmed on Monday that its armed wing spokesperson, Abu Obaida, and then Gaza chief Mohammed Sinwar were killed in the Israeli attack earlier this year.
The Israeli military said in May that it had killed Sinwar, the younger brother of former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. Three months later, it said it had also killed Abu Obaida.
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.
