The Israeli military said on Thursday that it is investigating the possibility that it has killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, one of the masterminds of the devastating Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel that triggered the Gaza war.

At this stage, his identity cannot be confirmed, said the military.

Hamas has not commented on the fate of Sinwar, who was recently elevated to paramount leader of the Palestinian militant group.

    I hope you’re wrong about both Israeli territorial ambitions and the unwillingness of Hamas to release hostages.

    How are the Egyptian media covering the news?

      How are the Egyptian media covering the news?

      Egypt has less than China levels of freedom of speech so I don’t follow Egyptian media, but if I had to guess they’re probably reporting with reasonable accuracy on happenings on the ground while trying and failing to not make Sisi look like a wuss.
