Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind behind the horrific October 7th terror attacks, is dead.
According to a Fox News report, Yahya Sinwar was killed this week by Israeli forces and was found in rubble in the Gaza Strip, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a televised message.
“I stand before you today to inform you that Yahya Sinwar has been eliminated,” he said. “He told you he was a lion, but in reality, he was hiding in a dark den – and he was killed when he fled in a panic from our soldiers.”

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Sinwar had the blood of numerous Israelis and Gazans on his hands.
“Let his death be a message to all who seek to terrorize Israel and the Jewish people,” said Schumer. “Sinwar in his beliefs and actions have caused so much pain to the Israeli and Palestinian people; and I pray that his elimination from the scene will clear a path to urgently and immediately bring home all the hostages – including the seven Americans.”
