Israel announced on Thursday that it had successfully killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, a key conspirator of the October 7, 2023 attack on the country. His remains were discovered in the rubble of Gaza, discovered by Israeli forces during a clash in Rafah. Authorities confirmed his identity through DNA testing, dental records and fingerprints. Israeli military officials reported that Sinwar’s remains were found along with a bulletproof vest, grenades and 40,000 shekels.
Images released by the Israeli military (IDF) show the final moments of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, captured by a drone surveying the area. In the video, a visibly injured Sinwar can be seen desperately trying to throw a piece of wood at the drone in an attempt to avoid detection. Shortly after, another attack hit the building, causing it to collapse and killing Sinwar along with two other militants.

According to a PTI report, Yahya Sinwar, a long-time Hamas leader, was known for his strict discipline and authoritarian style. Born in a Gaza refugee camp in 1962, Sinwar became involved with Hamas from the beginning, leading its security forces and hunting down informants working for Israel. Sinwar’s role in the October 7 attack, which claimed more than 1,200 lives and led to the kidnapping of around 250 Israelis, placed him high on Israel’s most wanted list.
