Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz confirmed the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. Israel confirmed this through DNA testing.
Katz said in a statement that Yahya Sinwar, who attacked Israel on October 7 last year, was killed today in an IDF attack. He said Hamas chief Sinwar was killed by Israeli soldiers during the operation. He was the mastermind of the October 7 attack.
Regarding Sinwar’s death, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the man who carried out the most horrific massacre of Jews in history since the Holocaust had been killed. Israel settled the score by killing Sinwar. But our war is not over yet.
Netanyahu said Sinwar’s death was the most important moment in the war against Hamas. Anyone in Gaza who surrenders and helps free the hostages will be allowed to leave Gaza safely.
Let us tell you that 1,200 Israelis were killed in the attack on October 7. This was a very powerful attack that heightened tensions in the Middle East.
Earlier, the Israeli army announced that three terrorists were killed during operations in Gaza. There was no indication there were any hostages inside the building, the statement said. Troops active in the area are working with great caution.
