Defense Minister Yoav Gallant vows that Israel will kill the Sinwar brothers, Yahya and Muhammad, during a visit to the Netzarim Corridor in the central Gaza Strip today.
“We will reach Muhammad Sinwar and also Yahya Sinwar. Anyone who thinks otherwise should look at Marwan Issa [and] Muhammad Deif: They also thought they were immune, they are not with us today, they made their mistake. [Sinwar] will also make his mistake, [and] we will carry out our mission,” Gallant says.
Yahya Sinwar is the leader of Hamas in Gaza, and was recently appointed as the head of the terror group following the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh. Muhammad Sinwar is a senior commander in Hamas’s military wing.
