Israel Claims Possible Elimination of Hamas Leader Yahya Sinwar

The Israeli military has announced that it is investigating whether it has successfully killed Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas in Gaza. Sinwar, who has been a key figure in Hamas since 2017, is believed to have been involved in orchestrating attacks against Israel, including the recent October 7 assault. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated that three terrorists were killed during operations in Gaza, and they are working to confirm if one of them was Sinwar. Hamas has not yet commented on the situation. This development could mark a significant blow to Hamas leadership if confirmed.

Israel releases drone video oh Hamas leader's final moments

New details have emerged of the firefight in which Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed.At 10:00 a.m. yesterday, a soldier from the 450th Battalion of the Bislamach Brigade noticed a suspicious figure going in and out of a building in Rafah’s Tel Sultan neighborhood, The Times of Israel has learned. He informed the battalion commander, who ordered forces to open fire on the building.At around 3:00 p.m., a drone saw three figures exiting the building, trying to move from house to house. Two of the figures moved in front, clearing the way for the third.The IDF opened fire again, injuring the terrorists. Two went into one building, and a third — who would turn out to be Sinwar — went alone into a separate structure. IDF tanks and other forces opened fire on both buildings, ToI has learned.Sinwar then moved up to the second floor. A tank fired another shell at the building, and an infantry platoon moved up to search. Sinwar threw two grenades, one of which exploded. The soldiers withdrew, and a drone flew in to search the room. It found a man with his arm injured and his face covered — Sinwar — who threw a wooden stick at the drone. Another tank shell was fired at the man.This morning, troops searching the building looked at the face of the slain terrorist whom the drone had spotted, and noticed that he resembled Sinwar. The Shin Bet took DNA and fingerprints in order to verify his identity. No hostages were with Sinwar at the time.
