ISRAEL: Axios-3 Israeli Officials Say Hamas Ldr 'Most Likely' Killed In Aistrike

ISRAEL
EM BulletHomepagemarkets-real-timePolitical RiskCommoditiesPolitical Risk BulletGlobalEmerging Market NewsMiddle EastEnergy BulletsBulletRegion

Barak Ravid at Axios posts on X regarding speculation on the potential killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in an Israeli airstrike: "Three Israeli officials say one of the bodies is most likely Sinwar. Israeli officials told me they are still waiting for DNA and fingerprint confirmation to make sure it is Sinwar. The Israeli officials say Israel has both his DNA and fingerprints from his time in prison"

  • As noted a short time ago (see 'ISRAEL: Unconfirmed Rumours Hamas Ldr Sinwar Killed In Strike, IDF Investigating', 1401BST) Sinwar's death would not necessarily mark an immediate end to the war in Gaza, but would undoubtedly deal a notable blow to Hamas' (already badly impeded) organisational capabilities.
  • Times of Israel also reports "A senior Israeli official tells Hebrew media that the security establishment’s current assessment is that there is a high likelihood that the terrorist killed by the IDF is Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar."
