Israel claims Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has been killed
Israel has said that its forces have killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in Gaza.
The Israeli military said on Thursday that Sinwar has been killed on Wednesday in southern Gaza.
“After completing the process of identifying the body, it can be confirmed that Yahya Sinwar was eliminated,” the Israeli military said.
“The dozens of operations carried out by the IDF [Israeli military] and ISA [Shin Bet, Israel’s domestic security service] over the last year, and in recent weeks in the area where he was eliminated, restricted Yahya Sinwar’s operational movement as he was pursued by the forces and led to his elimination”.
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz also said that Sinwar had been killed, calling it a “great military and moral achievement for Israel”.
Hamas has not commented on the Israeli claims.
