The leader of Hamas, Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind behind the attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023, was killed by the Israel Defense Forces ( IDF), which released video footage of an operation on Friday. The video shows container fire ejecting from a tower where Sinwar had been barricaded.
When Jewish troops fired on the tower, Sinwar was apparently inside the building when Israel called him the” Butcher of Khan Younis” for his terrible torture of both Israeli and Palestinian foes.
The IDF confirmed his dying on Thursday after conducting DNA testing, medical investigations, and other investigative inquiries.
In the images that the IDF has made available, Sinwar is seen sitting in an couch inside a building that has been devastated by the attacks and covered in dust. In his last moments, thick pictures show him throwing a stay at an approaching helicopter while he is by himself, greatly injured with one hand.
In the course of the attack by Hamas extremists, Sinwar, who is widely regarded as the author of the October 7 problems, orchestrated the killing of 1,200 Israelis and the kidnapping of hundreds of people.
Following the murder, Israel had pledged to have the “terror head” be removed.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, after the assurance of Sinwar’s dying, declared that Hamas had suffered a “heavy blow”, but stressed that the conflict in Gaza was not yet over.
Netanyahu said,” Hamas will no longer act Gaza,” adding that this was” the end of the day after Hamas” and a chance for the people of Gaza to “break free from its tyranny.”
Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that has been fighting Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip for more than a year, has suffered a significant loss with Sinwar’s suicide.
