New footage of former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was released Monday by Hamas-affiliated media, nearly two years after Israeli troops eliminated him in southern Gaza.

Sinwar, one of the central planners of the October 7 massacre, was killed on October 16, 2024, during an operation by troops from the IDF’s Bislach Brigade in Rafah’s Tel al-Sultan neighborhood.

The troops identified three terrorists and engaged them. During the encounter, Sinwar fled into a building that Israeli forces subsequently struck with tank fire.

Only during searches afterward did troops discover that one of the terrorists killed was the Hamas leader.

Sinwar had assumed leadership of the terror organization following the elimination of Ismail Haniyeh.

The IDF and Shin Bet had spent approximately a year hunting him, gradually narrowing the area in which he could operate in southern Gaza.
