The Israeli military said on Thursday that it was checking the possibility that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, Israel’s most wanted enemy, was among three militants killed during an operation in the Gaza Strip.Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the chief architect behind the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel.It said there were no signs that Israeli hostages had been present in the building where the three militants were killed.
Israel’s Army Radio said the incident had occurred during a ground operation in the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip during which Israeli troops killed three militants and took their bodies. Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant posted a message on social media platform X with a biblical quotation.“‘You will pursue your enemies and they will fall before you by the sword.’ - Leviticus 26 Our enemies cannot hide. We will pursue and eliminate them.”
Sinwar, who made his name by punishing Palestinian collaborators with Israel, has so far eluded detection, possibly hiding in the warren of tunnels Hamas has built under Gaza over the past two decades. Israel’s military said dozens of militants were at the site and it conducted a precise strike on a meeting point for Hamas and the Islamic Jihad group inside the compound. Hamas denied it used the school.
