Israel says it killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar

The Israeli military says it has killed Hamas’ top leader Yahya Sinwar during a battle in Gaza. Troops appeared to have run across him in a battle on Wednesday, only to discover afterwards that a body in the rubble was the man Israel has hunted for more than a year. Authorities conducted DNA tests on a body to determine if it was him. Sinwar was one of the chief architects of Hamas’ attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel has “settled its account” with Sinwar but “war is not yet ended.”
