The senior military officials also informed Israeli media that no Israeli hostages were found in the building where these three key Hamas commanders were killed.
Has Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar martyred in Israeli airstrike? A senior Israeli military official has stated that there is a strong possibility of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar being killed in the recent airstrikes in Gaza, and investigations are underway.
According to Israeli media, senior military officials have indicated that they are examining whether Yahya Sinwar was one of the three commanders killed in a bombing of a building in the Jabalia area of Gaza.
The senior military officials also informed Israeli media that no Israeli hostages were found in the building where these three key Hamas commanders were killed.
It is worth noting that a month ago, Israeli media claimed that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar had been martyred, and the Israeli military was investigating this claim for confirmation.
However, this claim was later proven false, with Israeli media reporting that Yahya Sinwar was hiding in a tunnel in Gaza and leading the organization.
On the other hand, a cryptic tweet from the Israeli Defense Minister has also reinforced rumors of Yahya Sinwar’s death, stating that they will reach every enemy and eliminate them.
Hamas weakened, not crushed
Israel has been at war with Hamas since the October 7 attack, which resulted in the deaths of 1,206 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of official Israeli figures.
Israel’s retaliatory campaign in Gaza has killed 42,438 people, the majority civilians, according to data from the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory, which the UN considers reliable.
Israel has since expanded the scope of its operations to Lebanon, where Hamas ally Hezbollah opened a front against Israel by launching low-intensity cross-border strikes that forced tens of thousands of Israelis to flee their homes.
Netanyahu has vowed to battle Hezbollah until victory, and Israel on Thursday launched strikes on the south Lebanese city of Tyre, where the militant group and its allies hold sway.
Israel also issued evacuation warnings for civilians in parts of Lebanon’s eastern Bekaa Valley, a Hezbollah stronghold.
It had earlier struck a Hezbollah target in Syria, according to a war monitor, while Israel’s main ally the United States used heavy bombers to hit rebel targets in Yemen.
Tehran on October 1 conducted a missile strike on Israel, over which Israel has vowed to retaliate, sparking concern around the world that what is already a war on multiple fronts could morph into an all-out regional conflict.
