Israel says Hamas leader and Oct. 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar killed by troops in Gaza | The Times of Israel
Israel s Foreign Minister Israel Katz on Thursday night announced that IDF troops had killed Hamas terror chief Yahya Sinwar in Gaza. The mass murderer Yahya Sinwar, who is responsible for the massacre and atrocities of October 7, was killed today by IDF soldiers, Katz wrote in a message to dozens of foreign ministers worldwide, according to his office.
The Israel Defense Forces said earlier that it was working to formally confirm that one of three terrorists its forces killed in Gaza s Rafah was Sinwar, as a senior Israeli official said there was a very high likelihood that a body found at the scene was that of the architect of the October 7, 2023, invasion and slaughter.
Members of the security cabinet were informed that Sinwar was very likely dead, two officials with knowledge of the matter said. Hamas sources told Reuters indications from Gaza suggested the terror group s leader had been killed.
Well good. Randy Barnett commented on X the NYT and WashPost will need a little time to polish up their glowing obituaries. IDF should probably bury him at sea as we did bin Laden.
