A massive IDF victory: Yesterday, Israeli forces confirmed that they killed Hamas' leader, Yahya Sinwar, on Wednesday. Sinwar was believed to be directing the terrorist group's military operations.
He was killed in a firefight between Israeli Defense Forces soldiers and Hamas militants, along with two others. DNA samples, plus dental records and fingerprints, confirmed that the initially unidentified body was, in fact, Sinwar. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refrained from declaring victory; the dozens of remaining hostages must still be returned, and Netanyahu (along with his political allies) maintain that total elimination of Hamas is still the goal.
