Yahya Sinwar’s death: Is it the ‘beginning of the end’ for Hamas?
Yahya Sinwar, Hamas leader in Gaza, was killed by Israeli forces on October 17, 2024, in southern Gaza. Sinwar had masterminded last year’s deadly attack on Israel. His death leaves Hamas without a clear leader, creating uncertainty in Gaza’s future. Israeli PM Netanyahu called it a major victory and a crucial step towards ending the war.
