Yahya Sinwar Killed in IDF Operation in Rafah

Yahya Sinwar, the supreme leader of Hamas and the principal architect of the October 7 attack, is killed during an IDF operation in the Tal al-Sultan area of Rafah. He is identified through DNA and fingerprint analysis. Sinwar's death ends the search for the most wanted figure on Israel's target list and removes Hamas's top decision-maker. Israel calls it a historic achievement; Hamas announces Mohammed Sinwar (his brother) as interim military leader.
