Hamas confirmed today (29 December) that its armed wing spokesperson, Abu Ubaida, and then Gaza chief Mohammed Sinwar were killed in the Gaza war earlier this year.

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 Ubaida.
