World leaders are calling for a redoubled push to end to the Israel-Hamas war and for the hostages to be brought back home after Israel said it killed Hamas' October 7 mastermind in Gaza. DW has more.
Hezbollah says it is moving to a new and escalating phase in its war against Israel while Iran says “the spirit of resistance will be strengthened” after the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
By not making any deals and instead fighting until his own death, Sinwar showed that he never softened from the resolve he’d exhibited early in the war.
Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed after over a year of pursuit by Israeli forces. Tracked by a mini drone in the ruins of Gaza, Sinwar attempted to fend it off with a stick before being eliminated.
The Israeli troops, after striking the building where Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar was present, took DNA tests and dental records of the body to confirm his identity.
