Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was known for his uncompromising nature – his death could end the war in Gaza. To do this, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu would have to jump over his shadow.
A DNA test and dental impressions confirmed on Thursday evening what Israel’s army has been fighting for for more than a year: Yahya Sinwar is dead. A patrol met the Hamas leader and mastermind of the October 7, 2023 attack by chance – during a routine Control in the southern Gaza Strip. The soldiers apparently saw three Hamas fighters enter a house in Rafah and then called in a tank attack – not knowing that it would hit public enemy number one. Sinwar was the last and most important name on Israel’s hit list. It had already been said several times that he had been caught. But it had appeared again and again, seemingly indestructible – until now.
