The leader of Hamas last August after the death of Ismail Haniyeh last August, Yahya Sinwar will be one of the organizers of the attacks from October 7, 2023.
Israel’s military said on Thursday it was checking whether Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was “eliminated” during an operation in the Gaza Strip, in what could be a decisive blow against the Palestinian Islamist movement it has been fighting for more than a year.
According to the Forensic Identification Unit of the Israel Police, Yahya Sinuar’s body was identified “based on photographs of his teeth.” Further identification tests are pending.
One of the masterminds of the October 7, 2023 attack
Yahya Sinwar, a radical activist and shadowy figure, is believed to be one of the masterminds of the unprecedented scale attack carried out by Hamas on October 7, 2023 on Israeli soil, which ignited the war in the Palestinian territory and ignited gunpowder in the region.
Aged 61 and the leader since 2017 of the Palestinian Islamist movement in Gaza, he was named the political leader of Hamas in early August following the death of Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed in Tehran on July 31 in an attack blamed on Israel. “During army operations in the Gaza Strip, three terrorists were eliminated,” the army said in a statement.
