Hamas vowed not to disarm after confirming the deaths of five of its senior leaders, complicating President Donald Trump’s peace plan.

In a statement, Hamas’s Izz ad-Din al Qassam Brigades announced the deaths of five prominent leaders, including two of its most famous. Among those killed was Mohammed al Sinwar, the brother of former Hamas leader Yahya al Sinwar, and the face of Hamas: Abu Obeida, the al Qassam Brigades spokesman. His real name was revealed to be Hudhayfa Samir Abdullah al Kahlout. He was the first spokesman of Hamas’s militant wing, serving as its face since 2005.
