Yahya Sinwar, mastermind of the October 7 Hamas attack, was killed by Israel. Israel Defense Forces bombed a building in Rafah on Wednesday and claimed to have killed four leaders, including Yahya Sinwar, in the operation. But they did not confirm it because it was difficult to identify the dead bodies.
The Israeli Foreign Minister also said the presence of Yahya Sinwar’s body among the dead. But no one could confirm this until the body was identified. Therefore, Israel has today confirmed through the DNA test of the body that Yahya Sinwar was also killed among the dead.
The news of Yahya’s death was being broadcast on the Israeli media since yesterday. The Israel Defense Forces have also released a video of the operation in which they say that the person sitting on the sofa in the video was Yahya Sinwar who was attacking the drone camera with a wooden stick.
Israel had been trying to find Yahya Sinwar since the start of the Gaza war. But its efforts were failing. Israel believes Yahya Sinwar was behind the October 7 Hamas attack.
After the death of Ismail Hania, Yahya Sinwar was made the leader of Hamas. Yahya Sinwar had stopped using his mobile phone, making it difficult for Israel to find him. Israeli intelligence and American intelligence jointly conducted secret operations to capture Yahya Sinwar but failed.
The death of Yahya Sinwar in an unexpected operation on Wednesday is good news for Israel.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that the death of Yahya Sinwar is the beginning of the end of the Gaza war.
