Hamas did not confirm

On the other hand, there was no immediate comment from Hamas either. The Hamas-linked website al-Majd, which usually publishes about security issues, urged Palestinians to wait for information about Sinwar from the group itself.

What did Israel say?

Israel's Army Radio said the incident occurred during a ground operation in the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, in which Israeli troops killed three militants and took away their bodies. Visual evidence suggests that one of those men was Sinwar and DNA tests are being conducted. Israel has DNA samples from Sinwar, taken during his time in an Israeli prison.

Why was Yahya Sinwar targeted?

In fact, on October 7 last year, on the orders of Yahya Sinwar, Hamas fighters entered Israel and carried out a massacre. Girls were raped at concerts, innocent children were killed and women were dragged and brutalized. Many girls were taken with them. Even the elderly were not spared.
