After forensic examinations, it turned out that the body found under the rubble belonged to the organizer of the attacks on October 7 in Israel, at the same time the leader of Hamas, Yahya Sinwar.
Israel's Foreign Minister has confirmed the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, who was earlier reported to have been killed in a routine attack by the Israeli army.
The Israeli police and military were forced to send Sinwar's dental images to the police forensics laboratory and DNA testing to prove whether the body found under the rubble was that of the Hamas leader.
After forensic examinations, it turned out that the body found under the rubble belonged to the organizer of the attacks on October 7 in Israel, at the same time the leader of Hamas, Yahya Sinwar.
Sinwar, 62, is suspected of being the architect of the deadly attack against Israel on October 7, 2023. The unprecedented attack fueled the war Israel is waging in the Palestinian enclave.
Sinwar became Hamas's top leader following the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the group's political bureau chief, who was killed in Tehran on July 31 in a suspected Israeli attack.
He had previously led the military wing of Hamas, or the Iz al-Din Al-Qassam Brigade. Sinwar was not seen as the favorite to succeed Haniyeh, who lived in Qatar.
Who is Yahya Sinwar?
Yahya Ibrahim Hassan Sinwar was born in 1962 in a refugee camp in Khan Yunis and attended Khan Yunis Boys High School. After high school, he attended the Islamic University of Gaza, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in Arabic studies.
While attending university in 1982, Sinwar was arrested for the first time. In prison he befriended Palestinian activists and decided to dedicate himself to the Palestinian cause.
In 1985, Sinwar founded Hamas's security branch, whose work included punishing violators of "morality" and killing Palestinians suspected of collaborating with Israel. His enthusiasm for executing accomplices led Israeli interrogators to refer to him as "The Butcher of Khan Younis".
Sinwar was released in 2011, one of a total of 1,000 Palestinian prisoners exchanged for a single Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit, who was captured in 2006 and held hostage in Gaza for five years by Hamas. Sinwar was the oldest prisoner released. He said he devoted his time in prison to studying his enemy.
In March 2021, Sinwar was elected to a second four-year term as head of the organization's political bureau in Gaza in a secret election.
The Hebrew he learned in Israeli prisons allowed him to write a letter to Netanyahu and gives him an edge in interpreting the generals' strategies. Analysts had noted his minimal openings, with some arguing that he had become more pragmatic. So he alternated tensions with compromises and was the one who got the green light from Netanyahu for financing from Qatar. Millions of dollars stuffed into suitcases in the Gaza Strip by the Doha ambassador, partly distributed to alleviate the misery of over 2 million residents. But the money streams are hard to follow, certainly in the open sewers of the Belt./Pamphlet
