Five Hamas military commanders confirmed dead by terrorist group's armed wing, marking significant blow to Palestinian militant organization's leadership structure in Gaza conflict.

Hamas has confirmed that its longtime spokesman was killed following an Israeli strike in August in war-torn Gaza.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also announced President Trump will receive the Israel Prize for his work on peace negotiations.

Israel's assassination of a senior Hamas commander threatens the viability of the Gaza ceasefire, the chief negotiator of the militant group said on Sunday, calling on U.S. President Donald Trump to demand Israel comply with the terms of the truce.

An explosive device has detonated in Gaza and wounded one Israeli soldier, prompting Israel to accuse Hamas of violating the U.S.-brokered ceasefire

The senior leaders killed included Mohammad Sinwar, Hakham Muhammad Issa al-Issa, Mohammed Shabana, and Ra’ad Sa’ad. Sinwar was the brother of former Hamas chief Yahya al-Sinwar. Sinwar was killed roughly a year after the Oct. 7 terror attack.

President Trump said Monday that Hamas must disarm within a “very short period of time” as part of a ceasefire agreement with Israel, warning of deadly consequences if the group does

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that Israel would retaliate after a military officer was wounded by a blast in Gaza, while Hamas denied responsibility, suggesting the explosive device had been left over from the conflict.

The legislation was the latest blow to the agency, known as UNRWA. Israel has accused it of being extensively infiltrated by Hamas.
