Officials have told Israeli media that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed in a strike on Gaza.
The Palestinian leader, who oversaw the 7 October attack on southern Israel that sparked off the massive Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip, was killed in a strike in Rafah, according to outlets KAN and N12.
Earlier reports said that three Hamas leaders were killed in a strike on Rafah. Photos had circulated in Israeli media of a slain man that appeared to be Sinwar, but the military censor ordered them to be taken down.
