Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar “is Dead”, Israeli Officials Confirm – Report

by Will Jones
17 October 2024 3:42 PM

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has been eliminated in Gaza, Israeli media have reported citing senior officials. The Mail has the details.

Israel has been investigating whether Sinwar was killed in a ground operation by the IDF which left three terrorists dead, with official confirmation expected in the coming hours.

Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant wrote on X: “We will reach every terrorist – and eliminate him,” adding soon after “our enemies cannot hide”.

Gallant attached a photo with a red cross over a blank slot – seemingly referencing Sinwar – between Hamas Commander Muhammad Daf and Hezbollah Chief Hassan Nasrallah, each of whom were assassinated this year and were also crossed out.

Senior Israeli officials said security sources consider there to be a “high probability” that Sinwar was eliminated, Israeli news outlet N12 reports, though reports have still not been confirmed.

It comes as graphic images have circulated online purporting to show the body of the terrorist leader.

The grim pictures show what appears to be a corpse resembling Sinwar lying on a pile of rubble, with a catastrophic head wound and injuries all over his body.

Israel’s Defence Forces said in a statement: “During an activity by IDF fighters in the Gaza Strip, three terrorists were killed. 

“The IDF and Shin Bet are investigating the possibility that one of the terrorists is Yahya Sinwar. At this stage, the identity of the terrorists cannot be confirmed.”

The statement went on: “In the building where the terrorists were killed, no signs of the presence of abductees were found in the area. 

“The IDF and Shin Bet forces operating in the area continue to operate under the necessary caution.”

Israel said its ground forces had identified a group of terrorists in a building in an unknown location in Gaza, fired at them, and then an exchange of fire began. 

The force entered the building and saw that one of the terrorists resembled Sinwar, according to reports.

The man’s corpse is now reportedly being examined with DNA and dental tests to ascertain whether it does belong to the Hamas leader.

While there has not yet been any official confirmation, a senior Government minister told Israeli media that Sinwar was apparently eliminated.
