Israeli Army Says Hamas Top Leader Was Likely Killed In Gaza

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on October 17 it was working to confirm that one of three fighters its troops killed a day earlier in the Gaza Strip was Yahya Sinwar, the top leader of the Hamas Movement.

“At this time, the identity of the terrorists cannot be confirmed,” the IDF said in a statement.

The fighters were killed when troops opened fire on a group of combatants on the ground floor of a building on October 16. Hebrew media reported that the clash took place in the Tell al-Sultan neighborhood near the city of Rafah in southern Gaza.

A strike was ordered against the building, which partially collapsed the structure. When the troops subsequently entered the building the next day, they realized that one of the dead fighters “looked very much like” Sinwar.

IDF troops were not targeting or looking for Sinwar and did not know the Hamas leader might be in the area where they were operating.

“The IDF and Shin Bet forces operating in the area continue to operate under the necessary caution,” the army said.

The IDF also noted that there were no hostages present in the area where the clash took place. Recent reports claimed that Sinwar was hiding among Israeli hostages throughout the war.

A senior Israeli official told the Times of Israel that there is a “high likelihood” that a body found at the scene of the deadly clash is that of Sinwar. Two of Israel’s main broadcasters, Kan and Channel 12, also cited Israeli officials as saying Sinwar was killed in the clash.

The IDF issued its statement after unverified graphic photos showing a dead body that resembled Sinwar began circulating on social media.

Hebrew media said that samples from the three bodies were being tested for DNA and would also undergo dental and fingerprint checks. However, the suspected body of Sinwar was not immediately brought to Israel because the area where it was found was heavily booby-trapped. The body also had a military vest carrying hand grenades.

Sinwar was born in the Khan Younis refugee camp in southern Gaza. He joined Hamas when Sheikh Ahmed Yassin founded the group around the time the first Palestinian intifada began in 1987. The following year, he set up the group’s internal security apparatus.

He was serving four life terms for the alleged killing of two Israeli soldiers, as well as four Palestinians he suspected of cooperating with Israel, when he became the most senior of 1,027 Palestinian prisoners released in exchange for kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit in 2011.

Sinwar served as Hamas leader inside Gaza starting from 2017. He is seen by Israel as the mastermind behind the October 7 Hamas-led surprise attack inside Israeli territory, in which more than 1,100 people were killed and more than 200 others taken captive.

Last July, he became the overall leader of Hamas after the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. He was selected by Hamas’s 50-strong Shura Council.

Hamas has not yet commented on the rumors of Sinwar’s death. If confirmed, it would be a heavy loss for the group. However, it wont mean its end.

erm, are we really talking about the hamas high command? hmm, let me think. soros, rothschild, rockefeller… and of course a few guys from the think tank, kasparov and these… and of course the outer circle of whores, the clintons, musk, gates… and similar no one believes that some towelhead with the iq of a tripanosoma was able to outwit the mossad. it’s the same story that evil bin laden committed 9/11 on his own. and shut down the entire american air defenses for several hours.

israel created that guy, israel commited crimes, blaming that guy, israel killed that guy and 50.000 others, calling it a “right to defence”. and it works. why? because people are incredible idiots. absolutely unbelievable idiots who have learned nothing in the 2000 years of known human history. i would say that even three-year-old kids playing marbles show higher intelligence than herd sheep whenever the global elites play a dirty game with them.

i thought the director of al shifa hospital was the real boss of hamas. he admitted this and even signed a confession after the shlomos had tortured him for a couple of weeks. so sinwar can’t be all that important.

took too long. after 1 year turning the tiny gaza strip into rubble. how does the, tiny, welfare funded, banana republic of israel expect to directly strike iran if they cant finish off a few hundred hamas & cant gain ground in lebanon. iran most likely has a true promise 3 ready, i suppose it will involve saturating the few vital energy targets & other critical points that will turn the lights out & send israeli economy into a tailspin. all thaads jnterceptors will be spent quickly

question: russia says “this” today : “russia issues forceful warning against planned israeli strike on iran”… and yet commercial nuclear facilities as well as russian nuclear ordnance is and has been attacked for the last 2 years by the u.$./nato terrori$t$?… so why the concern for iran when it’s being done in places like zaporizhzhia and kursk???? can’t wait for the reply(s)…

whether you love or hate him(sinwar), he died gun in hand fighting alongside his fellow common kin for what really mattered to them… honor, freedom and independence.he’s got my respect unlike other “leaders” (putin for example) who simply let their men die while they live lavishly away from the frontlines.

the opposite is the reality. hamas is defacto just a guirella shithole

yahya sinwar’ last moments after idf strike:

he was still alive and barely breathing and throwed a rubble stick towards an israeli reconnaisance drone inside the room. hahaha.

footnote: already covered in blood

Wallter

the jews have a formidable intelligence network in the middle east and europe etc but taking out the top dog of hamas won’t change much since there are a number of devoted hamaists ready to step right in and resume the relentless war to obliterate the jews from the face of earth. wish him luck and expect to seenetanyahu swinging in a lamppost in tel aviv!

operation al aqsa flood was a success. israel’s dream of building a corridor from india to saudi and thru palestine has been destroyed. normalization with the arab world is now impossible without recognition of a palestinian state. sinwar achieved those aims. he can die a happy man now. the self destructive jews will implement the rest of his plan.

of course you islamonazis are always daydreaming and cannot accept reality . wait until ayatollah’s head will have bullet holes.

take a look in the mirror. you zionist turd templars cannot accept reality. wake up, the world is changing beneath your feet. you like the americans, still think this is 1967. today’s israeli tik tok army is not your grandfathers army. and the world is moving beyond this american jewish sickness they call a “rules based” system. america is not the only game in town. european and israeli regimes still think so, they handcuff themselvs to this sinking titanic
