Yahya Sinwar killed in Israeli attack, Hamas confirms after calling it ‘fake news’ – India TV

Hamas has confirmed the death of its leader, Yahya Sinwar, following an Israeli airstrike in Gaza, after previously labeling reports of his death as “fake news.” The airstrike, part of Israel’s ongoing military operations, targeted Sinwar amid escalating violence in the region.

Sinwar’s leadership has played a central role in Hamas operations, especially during the recent conflicts with Israel. His death represents a serious blow to the organization, which has been under heavy military pressure in recent weeks.

In the wake of his death, Hamas issued a statement reaffirming its position on the hostages taken during the conflict, stating that it will not release any hostages until the war in Gaza ends. This position underlines Hamas’s commitment to its military objectives, even in the face of significant losses within its leadership.
