Media outlets affiliated with Hamas released new footage on Monday showing the former leader of the terrorist organization, Yahya Sinwar. Sinwar was eliminated on October 16, 2024, by fighters from the Bislamach Brigade during an operation in the Tel al-Sultan neighborhood of Rafah. The forces identified three terrorists, and during the engagement, Sinwar fled into a building, which the forces then targeted with tank shells. It was only after subsequent searches that it was discovered that one of the terrorists eliminated was the Hamas leader. Sinwar, considered one of the main planners of the October 7th massacre, was appointed Hamas leader after the elimination of Ismail Haniyeh. For about a year, the IDF and Shin Bet pursued him, gradually narrowing his operational area in the southern Gaza Strip.
