Who was Yahya Sinwar

Yahya Sinwar (born October 29, 1962, Khan Younis refugee camp, Gaza Strip—died October 16, 2024, Rafah, Gaza Strip) was the de facto leader of Hamas from 2017 to 2024 and the de jure leader as head of its political bureau from August 2024 to October 2024. Sinwar was an early architect of Hamas’s armed wing and he was considered one of the masterminds behind the October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel, the deadliest day for Israel since its independence. As Israel launched the Israel-Hamas War in response to the attack, a spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) referred to Sinwar as “a dead man walking.” Israeli forces killed him a year later on October 16, 2024, in a firefight in the southern Gaza Strip.
