Israel Reportedly Kills Hamas Chief Yahya Sinwar
17th October 2024
Yahya Sinwar, the architect of the deadliest attack on Israel in its history, was killed in a shootout with Israeli forces, Israeli officials reportedly have said.
Kan, Israel’s government-run radio network, quoted senior official sources as saying that DNA testing confirmed that the Hamas chief was one of three terrorists killed in a shootout Thursday with Israeli forces in Rafah, the city on the Gaza-Egypt border.
Israeli officials would not confirm the report to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. The army had earlier said that it was seeking to confirm whether a slain man resembling Sinwar was indeed the terrorist leader.
The wage of sin is death.
