Israel said on Thursday it may have killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the architect of the deadly October 7 attack.
The Israel Defense Forces said it was examining the possibility that Sinwar was one of three militants it killed “during IDF operations in Gaza”.
“The IDF and [Shin Bet internal security agency] are checking the possibility that one of the terrorists was Yahya Sinwar,” the Israeli military said in a statement.
“At this stage, the identity of the terrorists cannot be confirmed,” it added, noting that there were no signs of Israeli hostages in the building where the militants were killed.
