The brother of the Hamas leader, Yahya Sinwar (photo), reportedly killed in an Israeli airstrike hours after Israeli army chief Herzi Halevi’s threats to exterminate all the chiefs of the terrorist organization and their subordinates.

“Palestinian media have confirmed that the brother of Hamas leader Yahya Shinwar was killed by an Israeli airstrike earlier this evening (Thursday evening) in his apartment building in the city of Khan Yunis in South Gaza” refers to Arab social networks.

It is noted that a few hours earlier Halevi had said that “we will hit hard and we will dismember the leaders of Gaza.”

“Whoever is left in charge will understand very well that you don’t do such things in the state of Israel” said the head of the IDF.

Referring to the leader of Hamas in Gaza, Yahya Shinwar, he said that “this heinous attack was decided by Yahya Shinwar, the “ruler” in Gaza, which makes him and all his organs under him dead.”
