Sinwar killed in a clash with Zionist forces in Rafah, says Hamas
The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas announced on Friday that its leader, Yahya Sinwar, has been killed in a clash with Zionist forces in Rafah, located in the southern Gaza Strip. This area has suffered from genocidal aggression by the occupiers for over a year.
“We mourn the loss of our great leader, the martyr brother Yahya Sinwar, Abu Ibrahim,” stated Khalil al-Hayya, a Hamas official based in Qatar.
Yahya Sinwar, a prominent Palestinian politician born on October 29, 1962, in Khan Younis, had a long-standing history with Hamas. He was appointed head of Hamas’s political bureau in early August, succeeding Ismail Haniyeh, who was assassinated on July 31 during a Zionist attack in Tehran while attending the inauguration ceremony of new Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
The ongoing brutal Zionist aggression against Gaza, which commenced on October 7, 2023, has led to over 42,000 martyrs and nearly 100,000 injuries, predominantly affecting women and children, according to the latest provisional report from Palestinian health authorities.
