The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) has confirmed the deaths of its armed wing spokesperson, Abu Ubaida, and Gaza chief Mohammed Sinwar, who were killed in Israel’s war earlier this year.
Abu Obeida, the slain spokesperson, was a key Hamas voice in Gaza, releasing statements about battlefield updates and ceasefire violations.
Known by its staunch supporters as “The Qassam Brigades” made the announcement in a statement sent to journalists in Gaza.

The group also confirmed the deaths of Mohammed Shabanah, the head of the group’s Rafah Brigade, and two other leaders, Hakam al-Issi, and Raed Saad.
Abu Obeida’s last statement was in early September as Israel began the initial stages of a new military assault on Gaza City, declaring the area a combat zone as it destroyed hundreds of residential buildings and Palestinians flee en masse.
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 Obeida.
