MIAMI.- Israeli soldiers killed the top leader of Hamas, Yahya Sinwar, in Gaza, which means another serious blow to both the terrorist militia and Iran.
With the elimination of Israel’s most wanted man in Gaza, following the cruel massacre of October 7, 2023, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reinforces his government position and war plan, while continuing to evaluate how to respond to the missile attack from They will go on October 1st.
On the other hand, the Arab news agency Sky News Arabia confirmed the death of the terrorist.
Since Sinwar was imprisoned in Israel, his fingerprints or DNA are recorded, which helps confirm his identity.
In fact, orthodontic experts examined the corpse’s jaw and teeth and compared them with X-rays of Yahya Sinwar, revealing a unique and matching dental structure.
According to experts, several unique features on the corpse’s jaw match those of Sinwar. In particular, tooth 31 is significantly tilted and there is a gap or diastema between teeth 31 and 32, as well as between teeth 11 and 21.
Additionally, tooth 21 has a fracture known as a “pitzaim” and tooth 41 is positioned higher than the occlusal plane.
One year after the massacre
According to reports from Israel, Sinwar is the man who organized the cruel massacre of October 7, 2023, in which 1,139 people were murdered, around 1,000 were injured and 251 were kidnapped and taken hostage to Gaza, including 30 children.
Of the 251 kidnapped Israelis, 101 remain in captivity without proof of life.
At least 44 countries then described the ruthless act as terrorism, while others blamed the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories as the fundamental cause of the armed aggression.
Israeli intelligence reports claim that Sinwar was hiding in one of Hamas’ tunnels in Gaza, while avoiding the use of communications equipment to avoid detection.
Loop
Israel unleashed a military offensive against Hamas after October 7 that practically immobilized the terrorists’ belligerent force.
Dozens of tunnels that made up Hamas’ vast underground labyrinth, where they hid weapons and housed command centers, were destroyed.
Schools and hospitals were also bombed, where Israel claimed terrorist detachments were based.
Meanwhile, the world watches in surprise at the destruction and deaths in Gaza. To date, according to data from the Gaza government, there have been more than 41,000 deaths, including nearly 20,000 terrorists.
According to a survey by the respected Pew Research Center, 73% of respondents approve, in one way or another, of the Israeli response against Hamas.

According to these reports, the terrorist leader lived surrounded by hostages who were used as human shields, which supposedly prevented Israeli forces from intervening sooner.
“In the building where the terrorists were eliminated there were no signs of the presence of hostages. The forces operating there carry out their work with the required caution,” said the Israeli army.
Several Hamas leaders have been eliminated by Israel, including the terrorist group’s political chief Ismail Haniyeh, who was annihilated in Iran in July, and Hamas military leader Mohammed Deif, who was killed in Gaza also in July.
Who is Sinwar?
Yahya (Ibrahim Hassan) Sinwar took over leadership of Hamas after Haniyeh’s death, but his reign over the terrorist group was short-lived.
He was born on October 29, 1962 in the Khan Yunis refugee camp, in Gaza. His family was displaced from Ashkelon after the invasion of Arab armies and the recovery of Israeli territory in 1948, a factor that deeply influenced his ideological thoughts and terrorist activities.
He studied at the Islamic University of Gaza, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Arabic studies. His early years in the refugee camp instilled in him a strong determination to resist the Israeli occupation, which shaped his future role in Hamas.
How did you become a boss?
Sinwar co-founded Hamas’s intelligence apparatus, Majd, in the late 1980s, focusing on identifying and eliminating Palestinians who may be collaborating with Israel.
His terrorist activities led to his arrest in 1988 for orchestrating the kidnapping and murder of two Israeli soldiers.
Sinwar was sentenced to four life sentences, but was freed in 2011 in a prisoner exchange deal for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
During his 22 years in Israeli prisons, Sinwar became known for his firmness and leadership among inmates, earning a reputation as a critical figure within Hamas.
