Hamas Announces Leader Yahya Sinwar Martyred in Gaza Strip

Hamas official Khalil Al Hayya has announced the death of its leader, Yahya Sinwar, during clashes with Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip. Al Hayya expressed the movement’s pride in Sinwar’s contributions and leadership.

"The movement of Hamas mourns the leader Yahya Sinwar," Al Hayya said during the announcement.

Sinwar’s body was reportedly transferred to a secret location by Israeli authorities after it was examined at a forensic institute in Tel Aviv. Israeli officials have yet to decide how to handle the remains, with potential considerations for its use in future negotiations, particularly regarding Israeli abductees.
