Zakaria Sinwar, the brother of late Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and his successor Muhammad Sinwar, has succumbed to wounds sustained in an Israeli airstrike on Saturday night, Palestinian media reports.
Zakaria was initially said to have been killed in the strike, but media reports later said he had been critically injured.
Yahya was killed by the IDF in October and Muhammad was targeted in an Israeli strike earlier this month. Israel believes the latter was killed in that strike but his death has not been confirmed.
