Yahya Sinwar: Israel Investigates Possibility of Hamas Leader’s Death
The Israeli military and the Shin Bet are currently verifying whether Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, was among the three militants killed in a recent operation in Gaza. The operation targeted militants in the Gaza Strip, but the identity of the terrorists has not been confirmed. Israeli authorities are using DNA checks to identify the bodies and determine if Sinwar was among them.
Sinwar is considered the mastermind behind the October 7 attacks and has been a key figure in Hamas. He has been in hiding, using messengers for communication and has not appeared in public since the attacks. The Israeli Defense Forces have announced that they are investigating the potential death of Sinwar, but no positive intelligence has been found confirming his demise.
The investigation comes as part of ongoing military operations in Gaza, which have resulted in significant casualties and economic devastation. The conflict has extended to Lebanon, with Israel targeting the Iranian-backed group Hezbollah, and there are concerns about potential escalation in the region.
