Israel announced Thursday it killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the architect of the militants' October 7, 2023, terror attack that sparked the Gaza war.
Israeli forces — apparently by chance and without knowledge of Sinwar's location — encountered him and two other militants in a southern Gaza building and opened fire.
Israel almost immediately suspected it had killed the 61-year-old Sinwar, but only confirmed it after hours of investigation, including checking his DNA and dental records.
Sinwar's killing is being described as a "military and moral achievement for the Israeli army."
But the immediate impact of Sinwar's death was uncertain. Talks for a cease-fire in the Gaza fighting have been stalemated for months, with both Hamas and Israel refusing to give details in any halt to the conflict.
