ISRAEL has wiped out Hamas’ so-called new Prime Minister in a precise strike on a Gaza hospital.
Ismail Barhoum, a member of Hamas’ political office, had just taken office days ago before dying on the surgery department of Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis.

The Israeli military said it carried out the precision strike based on “extensive intelligence” and claimed it used “precise munitions to minimise harm at the site.”
Israel’s defence minister, Israel Katz, confirmed Barhoum was the target, with Hamas later acknowledging his death.
Footage shared on social media showed flames and smoke engulfing the third floor of the hospital.
Barhoum is the latest Hamas official to be killed since Israel resumed its ground offensive after abandoning a ceasefire deal, The Telegraph reports.
Earlier, Hamas said another senior figure, Salah Al-Bardawil, was killed in a separate Israeli strike in Khan Younis on Saturday — a claim the Israeli military confirmed.
Both men were members of Hamas’ 19-member political bureau elected in 2021.
According to Hamas sources, 11 of those members have now been wiped out since the war began in October 2023.
Seven are said to be “highly likely” outside the Strip, The Times of Israel reports.
The strikes come amid a major escalation in Gaza, with explosions reported across the north, central, and southern regions early on Sunday.
At least 45 Palestinians were killed in attacks on Rafah and Khan Younis alone, local health authorities said.
