Gaza Airstrike Kills Brother of Hamas Leader Yahya Sanwar An Israeli airstrike in the Nuseirat refugee camp in Gaza has killed Zakaria Sanwar, the second brother of prominent Hamas leader Yahya Sanwar. Zakaria, a history professor at the Islamic University of Gaza, is the latest in a series of family members of Hamas officials to die in the ongoing conflict. The airstrike, which occurred on May 18th, 2025, caused significant damage to the area. Eyewitnesses described a powerful explosion followed by intense fire. Al Arabiya's video footage shows the devastation, with buildings damaged and smoke billowing into the air. The video also features images of Zakaria Sanwar. While the Israeli military has not yet released an official statement, the incident adds another layer of complexity to the already tense situation in Gaza. The death of a prominent figure's family member is likely to further fuel tensions between Hamas and Israel. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, urging restraint from all parties involved. The incident underscores the human cost of the ongoing conflict and the need for a peaceful resolution.
