“The death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar could have a decisive influence on the conflict in the Gaza Strip - but only for a short time. Terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler examines the consequences and opportunities that now arise for Israel and the region. The Israeli government has now confirmed that DNA analysis has confirmed the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in the Gaza Strip. Sinwar had only taken over leadership of the entire organization in August following the death of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran at the end of July. With this military operation, Israel succeeded in eliminating the entire top leadership of Hamas in the Gaza Strip.”
