Within just a year of vowing to completely destroy Hamas, the Israeli army has broken the back of the enemy. Hundreds of Hamas commanders have been killed. Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh was also killed on Iranian soil. Now the news is that the Israeli army has also killed Hamas’ new chief Yahya Sinwar during an airstrike in Gaza. However, this has not been confirmed. Israeli media reports that the Netanyahu government has put several intelligence agencies, including Mossad, on the task of confirming Sinwar’s death. Israeli media is linking Sinwar’s sudden disappearance to his death. However, this is not the first time, earlier also Sinwar remained underground for a long time after the air strikes and Israel felt that Sinwar was killed.
Israel is investigating the possibility that Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar was killed in a recent airstrike, Israeli media Times of Israel reported on Sunday. The country’s authorities are investigating the possibility that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has been killed, relying on military intelligence.
The news report further states, “The Walla news site wrote that the Shin Bet has rejected the report and believes that Sinwar is alive. Intelligence being investigated suggests that Sinwar was killed during an IDF operation in Gaza.” The Times of Israel reported that given Sinwar’s history, it seems he is not dead, as he has disappeared after previous attacks, leading to speculation about his death.
Speculation on Sinwar’s death
Reacting to speculation about Sinwar’s death, Israeli journalist Barak Ravid said in a post on X that officials familiar with the matter had told him that Jerusalem had no information confirming the Hamas leader was dead.

According to Palestinian health officials, seven people were killed in an airstrike carried out by the Israeli army at a school sheltering displaced families in Gaza. However, the Israeli army said that it had targeted terrorists.
