Hamas leader believed to be killed in Gaza after Israeli strike
"Three terrorists were killed in an IDF operation in the Gaza Strip. "The IDF and security forces are investigating the possibility that one of these terrorists could be Yahya Sinwar," he said.
The IDF claims that "there was no sign of hostages in the bombed building." At the same time, Sinbar was reportedly hiding surrounded by hostages.
Yahya Sinwar, 61, took over as Hamas leader after the assassination of his predecessor, Ismail Haniyeh. On July 31, the IRGC announced that Haniyeh had been killed in a rocket attack in Tehran. He was 61. Palestinian officials blamed Israel for the destruction of Hamas' political leadership.
