Mohammed Sinwar, the younger brother of slain Hamas chief and Oct. 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar, has risen to the top of Hamas’ chain of command — and has managed to rebuild the terror group’s numbers despite Israel’s 15-month military campaign.

Militants in Gaza are recruiting new fighters under the leadership of Yahya Sinwar’s younger brother, Mohammed Sinwar, known as “Shadow.”

Sinwar was killed in this latest Israel-Hamas war, in which Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, vowed to dismantle and destroy Hamas. And yet, as a ceasefire took hold last Sunday after 15 months of massive destruction and death, Hamas – badly wounded and diminished – has survived and, at least for now, will remain in charge in Gaza.

Yahya Sinwar’s recitation of Shawqi’s iconic verse in the battlefields of Palestine underscores the enduring struggle for freedom, drawing parallels between historical and contemporary resistance.

“Our beloved Gaza is gone,” he texted in English, adding that the survivors envy the dead: “They don’t have to see it.” I understand this exhausted man’s heartbreak, after months of hunger and homelessness and seeing his son injured. The cease-fire is welcome, but there’s no clear path forward and not much to celebrate.
