The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on October 17 it was working to confirm that one of three fighters its troops killed a day earlier in the Gaza Strip was Yahya Sinwar, the top leader of the Hamas Movement.
“At this time, the identity of the terrorists cannot be confirmed,” the IDF said in a statement.
The fighters were killed when troops opened fire on a group of combatants on the ground floor of a building on October 16. Hebrew media reported that the clash took place in the Tell al-Sultan neighborhood near the city of Rafah in southern Gaza.
A strike was ordered against the building, which partially collapsed the structure. When the troops subsequently entered the building the next day, they realized that one of the dead fighters “looked very much like” Sinwar.
IDF troops were not targeting or looking for Sinwar and did not know the Hamas leader might be in the area where they were operating.
“The IDF and Shin Bet forces operating in the area continue to operate under the necessary caution,” the army said.
The IDF also noted that there were no hostages present in the area where the clash took place. Recent reports claimed that Sinwar was hiding among Israeli hostages throughout the war.
A senior Israeli official told the Times of Israel that there is a “high likelihood” that a body found at the scene of the deadly clash is that of Sinwar. Two of Israel’s main broadcasters, Kan and Channel 12, also cited Israeli officials as saying Sinwar was killed in the clash.
The IDF issued its statement after unverified graphic photos showing a dead body that resembled Sinwar began circulating on social media.
Hebrew media said that samples from the three bodies were being tested for DNA and would also undergo dental and fingerprint checks. However, the suspected body of Sinwar was not immediately brought to Israel because the area where it was found was heavily booby-trapped. The body also had a military vest carrying hand grenades.
Sinwar was born in the Khan Younis refugee camp in southern Gaza. He joined Hamas when Sheikh Ahmed Yassin founded the group around the time the first Palestinian intifada began in 1987. The following year, he set up the group’s internal security apparatus.
He was serving four life terms for the alleged killing of two Israeli soldiers, as well as four Palestinians he suspected of cooperating with Israel, when he became the most senior of 1,027 Palestinian prisoners released in exchange for kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit in 2011.
Sinwar served as Hamas leader inside Gaza starting from 2017. He is seen by Israel as the mastermind behind the October 7 Hamas-led surprise attack inside Israeli territory, in which more than 1,100 people were killed and more than 200 others taken captive.
Last July, he became the overall leader of Hamas after the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. He was selected by Hamas’s 50-strong Shura Council.
Hamas has not yet commented on the rumors of Sinwar’s death. If confirmed, it would be a heavy loss for the group. However, it wont mean its end.

mazel tov, bitches.
erm, are we really talking about the hamas high command? hmm, let me think. soros, rothschild, rockefeller… and of course a few guys from the think tank, kasparov and these… and of course the outer circle of whores, the clintons, musk, gates… and similar no one believes that some towelhead with the iq of a tripanosoma was able to outwit the mossad. it’s the same story that evil bin laden committed 9/11 on his own. and shut down the entire american air defenses for several hours.
you’re kidding me.or you think i’m a complete idiot, do you?
besides, you know exactly, a sinwar go , ten new ones are coming!
cheers hammer
exactly as sinwar is nothing then global elites product and they have thousands of such assholes in their databases. and thank you for abusing my nick…
sort of complete idiot!
yes, for once, you accurately described reality, now repeat after me, “i’m a ziopig genocidal cretin”
boker tov islamonazis. yahya sinwar is no more. haha
nothing is for sure, nothing is confirmed. idf just making fool of it self
already confirmed you idiot. either you accept the reality of keep dreaming like you are living in a 72 virgin goat mosh pit
you’re just one riled jewish supremacist!
you again with that zio propaganda?
you again with the iranian ilslamonazi terrorism propaganda too?
at least we all agree that all humans from asia to sth america, to austraia to africa all the way to the mid east and the moon hate the filthy jew.
we near the end of the jew. the gazans are sacrificed but it will be an excuse to level the dirty jew.
people are databasing where zionist live in every street in the west. bsh a jew day will go global and it will be on.
2026 is the end of the fparasite kyk and everyone can join that one special day
this is what happens when you don’t answer your cellphone or pager, the idf sends you a dm.. direct missile
hmmm, i thought he was hiding somewhere in a tunnel deep underground, frantically beating and raping hostages, all the while shitting his pants. something doesn’t add up.
because sin war attempted to escape and emerge from sewer rat tunnels back to surface and then to egypt bringing with him some dollar bills and passports to bribe the egyptians. but in the end he received a smashed pumpkin in the form of his cranium skull
this is clearly zionist shit talk for “we killed 10 more babies, and 2 ladies using a portapotty, that was defo an entrance to the hamas kingdom, where hamas leader sits on thrown made from jewish baby skins with lamp shades made from holocaust bullshit skins, with a side netenyohoo shit chin sauce.” yeah something like that…
israel created that guy, israel commited crimes, blaming that guy, israel killed that guy and 50.000 others, calling it a “right to defence”. and it works. why? because people are incredible idiots. absolutely unbelievable idiots who have learned nothing in the 2000 years of known human history. i would say that even three-year-old kids playing marbles show higher intelligence than herd sheep whenever the global elites play a dirty game with them.
i thought the director of al shifa hospital was the real boss of hamas. he admitted this and even signed a confession after the shlomos had tortured him for a couple of weeks. so sinwar can’t be all that important.
israel : oma-e a mou shindeirou ?
sinwar’s last words : nani ?????????????????
is that even a sentence?
let me translate this to you (from japanese)
israel: you are already dead
sinwar: what??????????????????
so you are polyglot now of the sudden?
took too long. after 1 year turning the tiny gaza strip into rubble. how does the, tiny, welfare funded, banana republic of israel expect to directly strike iran if they cant finish off a few hundred hamas & cant gain ground in lebanon. iran most likely has a true promise 3 ready, i suppose it will involve saturating the few vital energy targets & other critical points that will turn the lights out & send israeli economy into a tailspin. all thaads jnterceptors will be spent quickly
it looks like the resistance is playing the same game. the houthis targeted nutteryahoo’s plane as it was landing and hezb. went after genocider-in-chief shlomo harlevi in their drone strike.
yea the yanks haven’t experienced rockets coming at them in numders, they’ll shit spray n pray, blow of all the amo
sinwar likes hiding and hiding like a bitch that’s why.
stupid. solemaini is dead, raisi is dead, nasralla is dead, haniye is dead, sinwar is dead & it makes no difference. israel is bogged down in tiny gaza strip, idf getting its ass kicked & cant advance in lebanon, 100s of thousands israeli citizens have & continue to leave israel & bibi the chickenchit netanyahu is too afraid to respond in kind to irans 2 humiliating direct strikes with 600+ missiles,drones in the heart of israel
pouring one out for the homies 🤣🤣🤣
eliminated like a filthy bubonic rat
it’s always funny to see a jewish supremacist with no concept whatsoever of irony. the screeching about the nazis comparing jews to rats has gone on for half a century, and yet here you are, derping. congrats.
then you cry when iran, and islamic terrorists are being compared to german nazis with 98% synonymously similarities between them :)
only ones who are compared to nazis are zio supremacists-no phantom islamic terrorist from iran. only ones are zios and their minions from al qaida to aln usra and on and on. just big ass thanks for letting me know.
nazism is literally based on zionism dumb cnt ;)
checking it out ebay how much for his multi thousand dollar rolex watch which a filthy sinwar ham@s is worth.
now that’s the idea. that’s where the transmitter was like nicolae ceaușescu.
i will bid one million dollars.
who worked for i$rael betraying his own since arafat!… fixed it!!!
question: russia says “this” today : “russia issues forceful warning against planned israeli strike on iran”… and yet commercial nuclear facilities as well as russian nuclear ordnance is and has been attacked for the last 2 years by the u.$./nato terrori$t$?… so why the concern for iran when it’s being done in places like zaporizhzhia and kursk???? can’t wait for the reply(s)…
i have a gut feeling that the usa knew some time ago were sinwar was and decided to “gift” him to netanyahu so he can take that win and not conduct strikes in iran so close to the us elections.
whether you love or hate him(sinwar), he died gun in hand fighting alongside his fellow common kin for what really mattered to them… honor, freedom and independence.he’s got my respect unlike other “leaders” (putin for example) who simply let their men die while they live lavishly away from the frontlines.
derp? derp derp. derp.
so true.
almost zero hamas have been killed by rifle. the idf are too cowardly and gutless to fight face to face.
meanwhile every second day we get fanatstic sniper footge of hamas making a jelly fish sandwich out of the idf with a bullet through the spine or a holiday to hell to meet the maker of the jews lucifer thanks to a bullet in the skull.
all idf do is masacre women and children and claim they are hamas. weak as piss kykes ;)
dear southfront staff, yes it’s me the foul mouthed antitroll… you need to immediately cover the blasphemous attack of ukronazi punks on the cathedral of the archangel michael, these nazi bastards robbed the place and beat up priests and babushkas… piss me off so much i wanna join the russian army and kick ass.. but i’m too old a frog to boil in war…
no fear..the feral kazarian jew scum in ukraine army will burn in hell like idf and their filthy nazi jewsih leader zelenski. rest assured that the end of the parasite jew is here.
jews invented and funded nazism ideology. and the jew has been witnessed by all now.
everyone secretly prays that iran carpet bombs tel aviv and haifa so we can see 40,000+ dead kyke terrorists, the mass killing of jews is the same as gaza not a genocide. the jews can be genocided but we wont call it genocide.
they don’t know either way, just making shit up.
they always do that.
sin war. is dead. confirmed. stop crying like a bitch
bitch like you.
crocodile tears for islamic shit rats like you
nasty ol’ jewish supremacist!
no, it is bitch like you.
global hero and warrioir you mean.
noone in the west wanted sinwar dead… but everyone wantsnetanyahu dead.
the jews always think the opposite of huanity becasue the kyke is the enemy of humanity.
jahya sinwar was a walking corpse after october 7, just like volodymyr sleazynskyy is and just like alexander litvinenko was.
derp and derp again!
hey señor what …? never mind dirp.
no way israel wanted him or the other two palestinians on the icc warrant list to ever appear in a court of law to put forward a defence.
people cheer over pictures some liars show them.
yahiya sínwar should be sént to the cvn abrahám líncoln in the northérn arabián séa to drop him next to osamá bín láden so that thém eéls and thém crábs can crawl out of theír eyé balls.
you believe both stories, right? lol.
now the world is waiting for the information that the criminal jew netanyahu is off the board for goooooood!
bitch throwing tantrums now it is confirmed the pedomaniac nazi named sinwar is now double dead.
you gotta be clear now. the good or the bad nazis?
the islamonazis to be specific.
so those are the bad ones? now can you tell us which ones are good ones?
using reverse psychology against me so that you will play the victim card.
typical islamic ratshit stategy.
no, just answer the question. it is clear and fair one. who are good nazis? and who are the bad ones?
ruzzian nazis are crying 😆😆😆
because the ukrainain cia project has failed so badly?
joined the 72 virgins group chat:
haniyeh
deif
nasrallah
latest: sinwar
that bs about 72 virgins is promoted by your perfidious (zio propaganda).
cry harder now goat facker. your greatest furer sinwar is no more
despite seventy-five years of imperial welfare cheques, the jewish supremacists cannot break the palestinian resistance. relentless failure. nice work.
the opposite is the reality. hamas is defacto just a guirella shithole
okay, i’d agree. but you are even worst, year have passed and you still can’t defeat that shithole.
yahya sinwar’ last moments after idf strike:
he was still alive and barely breathing and throwed a rubble stick towards an israeli reconnaisance drone inside the room. hahaha.
footnote: already covered in blood
the jews have a formidable intelligence network in the middle east and europe etc but taking out the top dog of hamas won’t change much since there are a number of devoted hamaists ready to step right in and resume the relentless war to obliterate the jews from the face of earth. wish him luck and expect to seenetanyahu swinging in a lamppost in tel aviv!
it’s more like kicking a hornets nest. the df’s don’t have a clue. hezbollah says they are going to the next phase. make them hurt.
islamonazi facsists are sad and crying for the loss of their favorite islamo fascist. they want to attend his funeral, but they cannot locate the middle east on a map.
muslimes can’t catch a break. their leadership keep getting decapitated just like müezzinzade ali pasha got at the battle of lepanto. thus to all saracens.
the west focuses too much on leaderships because they love their pyramid schemes. decentralization is a new concept to them.
pardon my french, but why are you such a faggot?
he isn’t that, his crossdresser
what a sickening hypocrisy? at the un, the us opposed ceasefire and vetoed three resolution. the u.s. is complicit in the mass murder of unarmed civilians by savage jews.
alone and crapping in his pants as he realises it’s over for him forever, and he has achieved absolutely nothing
well thats too bad. even without nasrallah and sinwar, hezbollah and hamas still grows and are undefeated. jews think killing some leaders will solve their psychological problems.
you dreaming? suka blyat islamic rats will always be islamic rats. hiding like filthy rats in sewer tunnels because they are the abomination of the earth
rabbis in jew york love hiding in tunnels. israeli leadership are hiding in underground bunkers like rats. zionism has failed the jews. do not throw stones from glass houses. everybody knows that hamas and hezbollah will continue without nasrallah or sinwar.
rabbis in new york don’t spend all their time hiding in tunnels. sometimes they’re busy with their mouths on little boys’ peckers.
correct….oral suction is common with jew york hasidics, known to cause h.i.v outbreaks. its called metzitzah b’peh
fuuuck! shit fucks they are!
sitting there alone, in the dark, head down with a bullet hole.. to spend your life hating and killing people … what a terrible waste.
this comment doesn’t changes the fact hasbarats presented.
he don’t look so tough now.
eliminated like a rat. ✅👏🥳
operation al aqsa flood was a success. israel’s dream of building a corridor from india to saudi and thru palestine has been destroyed. normalization with the arab world is now impossible without recognition of a palestinian state. sinwar achieved those aims. he can die a happy man now. the self destructive jews will implement the rest of his plan.
of course you islamonazis are always daydreaming and cannot accept reality . wait until ayatollah’s head will have bullet holes.
take a look in the mirror. you zionist turd templars cannot accept reality. wake up, the world is changing beneath your feet. you like the americans, still think this is 1967. today’s israeli tik tok army is not your grandfathers army. and the world is moving beyond this american jewish sickness they call a “rules based” system. america is not the only game in town. european and israeli regimes still think so, they handcuff themselvs to this sinking titanic
sad to see the un loose their employee of the month. crocodile tears
with zykon b?
you want to see the picture that paints more than a thousand words?
i present to you: your beloved islamopedomaniac sinwar :)
pbs .twimg. com/ media/ gaf5gqmxmaac502?format=jpg&name=large
total failure. hasbarats are getting less competent every year.
the most important thing is now that he is double dead with a big hole in his head :)
i just hit your nerv, haven’t i you perv?
try harder keyboard warrior you muhammad is a pervert
zio nazi said that? than it must be a lie.
i ain’t keyboard, you are. anytime, anywhere.
less competent you say? for forgot the exploding pagers the left hezbollah some traumatic stress syndrome
we will take over southfront.
we will burn southfront and al jazeera
before: sinwar
now: sinwas
now is war. against zionazis. to free the world from that vermin.
hook nosed vermin are having a mini orgasm here i see. play it as long as it lasts inbreds. yayha sinwar, rest in peace now soldier. your life, like haniyeh’s, was devoted to your people. your life would have experienced such pain, but also exhilaration with your people’s long struggle, and their love. your life, and it’s tribulations, will not be in vain. au revôir to a classical hero. 🪔
100% islamic dogshit comedy
count down…
that’s an enormous statement from you clown. don’t like the truth narrative do we ? sinwar, may god bless him, went down fighting for his people. gutless screeching kikes like you find that concept totally alien, you know, like little piss weak ‘yair’. end times are a comin’ for you lot, and it’s gonna be messy 😄
