The IDF and Shin Bet announce that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has been killed.In a joint statement, they say that recent IDF and Shin Bet activities reduced Sinwar’s area of operations, ultimately leading to his death.
The statement explains that over the past few weeks, the 162nd Division and Gaza Division have been operating in Gaza in areas where intelligence indicates senior Hamas officials have been hiding.
A force from the 828th Bislamach Brigade killed three terrorists, and one of them was identified today as Sinwar.
Israel’s defence minister, Yoav Gallant, has recently spoken with his US counterpart, defence secretary Lloyd Austin, according to a US official.
The call came moments after Israel’s foreign minister, Israel Katz, announced that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was dead, the official said.According to CNN, Austin was passed a note about Sinwar’s death during a Nato meeting in Brussels earlier today.
And as we reported earlier, US president Joe Biden was briefed while aboard Air Force One after Israel said it was checking whether Sinwar had been killed.
