Society watch reported in October that Israeli forces had killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar during an operation in Gaza, though official confirmation of Sinwar’s death has not been finalized.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, in a post on social media, vowed to continue targeting terrorist leaders, stating, “We will reach every terrorist — and eliminate him”.

Graphic images circulating online allegedly show Sinwar’s body, intensifying speculation about his death.
