Israel Investigates Hamas Leader's Possible Death

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are investigating whether Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed in a recent military operation in the Gaza Strip, where three militants were reportedly eliminated. A senior Israeli official indicated a high probability of Sinwar's death, with DNA testing underway to confirm his identity. The military stated there were no signs of hostages in the location of the operation, despite previous claims that Sinwar was using hostages as human shields. Sinwar is considered the mastermind behind the October 7 attack that escalated the Gaza conflict. Amid this investigation, Israeli airstrikes in northern Gaza resulted in the deaths of at least 28 Palestinians, drawing international concern regarding the humanitarian situation in the region. The IDF continues its operations with caution following these developments.
