Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, showing footage of his final moments in a bombed-out Gaza apartment. The drone footage depicts Sinwar, visibly wounded, throwing a stick at the drone before an Israeli tank shell strikes the building, resulting in his death. Sinwar was reportedly found with a bulletproof vest, grenades, and cash, leading to the conclusion he was a target during the IDF's months-long search. Israeli officials, including Foreign Minister Israel Katz, hailed the operation as a significant blow to Hamas, although they acknowledged that their campaign against the group is ongoing. Confirmation of Sinwar's identity came through dental records and DNA testing. Hamas has yet to respond officially to the assassination.
