The Israel Defense Forces targeted the head of Hamas' military wing, Mohammed Sinwar, in an airstrike on a bunker underneath a hospital in Khan Younis, three Israeli officials told Axios. Why it matters: The death of Sinwar,

Israeli officials said the military had launched an attack targeting Mohammad Sinwar, one of Hamas’s top remaining commanders in Gaza and the brother of a leader killed last year.

This Israeli prime minister's comments are likely to complicate talks on a new ceasefire that seemed to gain momentum after Hamas released the last living American hostage this week.

At least six people were killed and 40 wounded, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health, which did not name Muhammad Sinwar as one of the dead.
