(Red State)—As we wrote earlier on Saturday, in a developing story on the latest in a string of Hamas leaders eliminated by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) of our Middle Eastern ally, my colleague Ward Clark reported that “On Saturday, the IDF announced, on its official X account, that they have changed another head of Hamas’ pronouns to ‘was’ and ‘were,'” and included their post:
We eliminated the Head of Hamas, again. He happens to be a Sinwar too.

Clark also shared the fact that earlier in the week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had rattled off a list of the terror group’s leaders his nation’s military eliminated during the Israel-Hamas war, which includes that of the de facto leader of Hamas, Muhammad Sinwar.
Now, there’s an update, filling in some more plot points on what we know about the Hamas leader–and why Israel highlighted that his surname happened to be “Sinwar.”
The reason is simple: Muhammad Sinwar was related to the last Hamas terror leader Israel killed — he was Yahya Sinwar’s younger brother. And like Yahya, this Sinwar was thought to be an integral member of the cabal that planned the heinous Oct. 7 attack.
