Netanyahu says Israeli army has killed Hamas chief Mohammed Sinwar

Sinwar was targeted in Israeli air strikes in southern Gaza

"We eliminated Mohammed Sinwar," Netanyahu told a parliament plenary session.

Israeli media had reported that Sinwar was targeted in Israeli air strikes in southern Gaza earlier this month.
