On a local date, the Israeli Defense Forces and the Shin Bet issued a joint statement stating that the IDF had killed a number of Palestinian militants during a military operation in the southern Gaza Strip on the evening of the day. After the process of identifying the bodies was completed, it was confirmed that one of them was Sinwar. On the same day, the Israeli Defense Forces released a video showing the injured Sinwar throwing sticks at an IDF drone. Additionally, the Israeli police also released a video of the transportation of Sinwar's body.

Israeli forces claim to have tracked Sinwar for months, discovering him in a tunnel.

On the evening of the local time, Israeli Defense Forces spokesperson Hagar announced via social media that after a year-long search, the Israeli military had killed Sinwar in the southern Gaza Strip on the evening of the local time. Hagar stated that the Israeli military had been tracking Sinwar for several months prior and had discovered him in a tunnel. At the time of the incident, the Israeli military identified him as a "terrorist" and was unaware that he was Sinwar, who was not accompanied by any Israeli detainees.

Hagai also stated that Israel will continue its military operations, targeting Hamas' infrastructure, searching for Muhammad Sinwar, the brother of Sinwar, and other Hamas military commanders, in order to eliminate the organization's military capabilities, while striving for the release of Israeli hostages. So far, Hamas has not yet issued an official response.

Prime Minister: This marks the "beginning of the end of the Gaza war."

Local time on the early morning of the month, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on his social media account that the death of Yahya Sinwar, leader of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), marks "the beginning of the end of the Gaza war." Netanyahu said, "This war could end tomorrow. If Hamas lays down its weapons and returns our abducted personnel, the war can end." Earlier, Netanyahu delivered a video speech stating that although Sinwar has been killed, Israel's mission is not yet complete, and it must continue to act until the abducted Israelis are released.

Yahya Sinwar was born in a refugee camp in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip. He is one of the main founders of the security institutions under Hamas and has served as the leader of Hamas in the Gaza Strip for many years. He is considered by the outside world as a representative of the "hardline" faction within Hamas. On a certain date this year, Sinwar succeeded Ismail Haniyeh, who was assassinated in Iran, to become the leader of the Hamas Political Bureau.
