Israel-Gaza live updates: Political leader of Hamas has been killed, Iran says
In a major development in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, the political leader of Hamas, Yehya Sinwar, has been killed. The news was confirmed by Iran, which has long been a supporter of the Palestinian militant group.
The killing of Sinwar marks a significant escalation in tensions between Israel and Hamas, as he was one of the key figures in the organization and played a crucial role in its operations. His death is expected to have a major impact on the direction of the conflict and could potentially lead to further violence and instability in the region.
Iran, which has been a vocal supporter of Hamas and has provided the group with financial and military support, condemned the killing of Sinwar and vowed to retaliate against Israel. The Iranian government accused Israel of carrying out a targeted assassination and called for an immediate response to the killing.
The situation in Gaza has been tense in recent weeks, with ongoing clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants. The killing of Sinwar is likely to further inflame tensions and could lead to an escalation in violence. The international community has called for a de-escalation of the conflict and for both sides to resume negotiations to reach a peaceful resolution.
The killing of Sinwar has raised concerns about the potential for further violence in the region and has highlighted the complex and volatile nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop in the coming days and weeks, but one thing is clear: the death of Sinwar has added a new layer of complexity to an already tense and volatile situation.
