The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced the death of Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, during a military operation in Gaza. Sinwar, Israel's top target, was believed to have orchestrated attacks against Israel on October 7 of the previous year. After a year-long pursuit, Sinwar was killed in the southern Gaza Strip following intelligence operations by the IDF and Israeli Security Agency.
The military confirmed his identity through DNA tests after soldiers from the 828th Brigade neutralized several terrorists. A video released by the IDF depicted Sinwar’s final moments before his elimination. Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, hailed the operation as a significant victory against Hamas, urging the group’s leaders to surrender and release hostages.
US President Joe Biden also commended Israel, calling it a positive day for both Israel and the global community. However, Hamas has yet to respond to the event.
