Yahya Sinwar’s brother Muhammad has been operating as the de facto leader of Hamas’s military wing in Gaza, alongside a small council of top commanders, the Kan public broadcaster reports.
There was no formal appointment of Muhammad Sinwar by Hamas, which has yet to confirm the death of its former military wing chief Muhammad Deif, who Israel says it killed in a July airstrike.
