The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas confirmed, this Friday, October 18, 2024, the death of its leader Yahya Sinouar.
In the aftermath of the announcement made by Israel according to which the leader of Hamas Yahya Sinouar was killed in the Gaza Strip by the Zionist occupation forces, Hamas announced the loss of its leader.
“We mourn the death of the great chef, the martyr brother, Yahya Sinouar, Abu Ibrahim,” said Khalil al-Hayya, an official of Hamas based in Qatar, in a video broadcast on the Al Jazeera channel.
Yesterday, the Israeli army announced that it had assassinated Yahya Sinwar as well as two other members of Hamas during an operation carried out in the Gaza Strip.
Born in 1962 in Khan Younès, Yahya Sinwar spent more than twenty years in Israeli prisons before being released in 2011 as part of an exchange with Israel. Since 2017, he directed Hamas in the Gaza Strip and had recently taken the lead in the Movement’s political bureau, after the death of Ismaïl Haniyeh, murdered in Tehran on July 31.
