The killing of Mohammed Sinwar marks the end of the secretive group that planned the 7 October 2023 attack on Israel.

Hamas extended condolences to Iran over the reported killing of key figures including Major General Hossein Salami, commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard; Lieutenant General Mohammad Bagheri, chief of staff of the Iranian armed forces; and a number of nuclear scientists.

The family of a Nepali man taken captive by the Palestinian militant group Hamas has appealed to his captors for his release, stressing that he has no involvement in the conflict in Gaza.

After Israel killed his two predecessors, Ezzedin al-Haddad takes over a group that is battered and depleted of veterans—but still deadly.

As Abu Shabab and his militia continue to fend off the allegations, Basem Naim, Hamas Political Bureau member and spokesperson, asserted that the group had little influence in Gaza, marking an apparent blow to Israel's efforts to challenge Hamas' rule in the territory.

Mahmoud Abbas gave assurances to President Emmanuel Macron of France, who has set conditions for possible recognition of a Palestinian state at a U.N. conference next week.

The confirmation of Mr Sinwar’s death changes little in and of itself. Hamas has already appointed a replacement and it has weathered the killings of many of its bosses. But it could shift the balance within the movement’s leadership, formerly dominated by Gazans, just as Israel once again increases pressure on the coastal strip.
