In a recent development, Israel is currently probing reports, which highlight, that the leader of Hamas, Yahya Sinwar may have been killed in a recent airstrike, Reports Times Of Israel.
The investigation stems from military intelligence reports about Sinwar’s status, as noted by Israeli journalist Ben Caspit.
However, the Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security service, has dismissed the reports, asserting that Sinwar is still alive. The intelligence under review suggests he might have died during Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) operations in Gaza.
Further, Caspit also noted, that given Sinwar’s history of disappearing after airstrikes and the ensuing speculation about his death, there remains a possibility he is still alive.
Journalist Barak Ravid also weighed in, stating that officials with direct knowledge have indicated that there is no confirmation of Sinwar’s death.
