Israeli FM: Hamas leader Sinwar was killed by IDF soldiers
Israel Katz, head of the Israeli Foreign Ministry, said Yahya Sinwar had been killed.
Thus, the Israeli minister confirmed the liquidation of the head of the Hamas political bureau.
Katz noted that a representative of the Palestinian movement was killed by IDF soldiers.
The statement by the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Jewish state was distributed by the press service of this department, TASS reports.
The destruction of Sinwar opens the way for the immediate release of the hostages, said Israel Katz.
According to the head of the Israeli Foreign Ministry, the murder of the Hamas leader opens the way to the end of the movement's rule, as well as to a change in the situation in Palestine.
Katz added that Sinwar's elimination is a major achievement for Israel, both militarily and morally.
A representative of the Israeli Foreign Ministry stressed that after the incident, the Middle Eastern country expects “assistance from the free world.”
It is noted that some time after Katz's statement, the fact of Sinwar's murder was confirmed by the IDF Spokesperson's Service: it was reported that the head of the Hamas Politburo was liquidated on Wednesday, October 16, during an Israeli military operation in the southern Gaza Strip.
