The killing was reportedly carried out in fighting between infantry and Hamas militia during a routine patrol on Wednesday in Rafah, at the southern end of the Gaza Strip.
The confirmation of his death was made after a series of DNA tests on the body of a combatant who fell in the Rafah confrontation.
Yahya Ibrahim Sinwar, a Palestinian born in 1962, at the Khan Yunis camp, refugee from occupied Ashkelon. This is Abu Ibrahim, who was a martyr as head of the political council of the Hamas movement, succeeding the also martyred Abu Al-Abd, Ismail Haniyeh.
On October 7, 2023, Sinwar led the Al-Qsa Flood operation which started the surge of Israeli aggression.
The militant was appointed as a leader of Hamas after Israeli forces killed the group’s then political leader, Ismail Haniyeh, in August during a bombing raid while he was visiting Tehran.
