Israel has stated that Yahya Sinwar a key Hamas figure‚ was killed in a military action in Gaza roughly 6 days ago. This event is seen as a major hit to the militant group since the wars start.
Sinwar was a unique leader‚ combining political and military roles. His replacement wont be easy experts say. Possible successors include his brother Mohammed Sinwar‚ Khalil al-Hayya‚ and Khaled Mashal each with different implications for Hamas future.
While Israels celebrating this as a win‚ it might lead to chaos in Gaza. Hamas could react by firing rockets or harming hostages. Some Gazans might be glad about Sinwars death‚ as he was disliked for ignoring civilians lives.
Benjamin Netanyahu‚ Israels leader‚ promised to keep fighting until hostages are back. Almost 100 hostages are still in Gaza‚ with about a third thought to be dead.
