Jerusalem: October 18 (AP) Hamas has finally admitted, 24 hours after the Israeli army’s claim, that its leader and chief Yahya Sinwar was killed in an IDF attack. Earlier, Hamas had been rejecting the Israeli claim. Hamas had also claimed on Thursday that its leader was alive. But now Khalil al-Hayya, a top political leader of Hamas, has officially confirmed the killing of group leader Yahya Sinwar on Friday.
Let us tell you that Al-Hayya, in a televised statement, reiterated the Palestinian terrorist group’s stance that it will not release the Israeli hostages captured in the group’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, until a year has passed in Gaza. There is no ceasefire in the ongoing war. “Those prisoners will not be returned to you until the attack on Gaza ends and there is a withdrawal from Gaza,” he said. This clearly shows that even though the chief leader of Hamas is being killed, he has pledged to continue fighting the war with Israel till the end. (Language)
