The Israel Defense Forces said Thursday it was working to formally confirm that one of three terrorists its forces killed a day earlier in Gaza’s Rafah was Hamas terror chief Yahya Sinwar, as a senior Israeli official said there was a “very high likelihood” that a body found at the scene was that of the architect of the October 7 invasion and slaughter. Members of the security cabinet were informed that Sinwar was very likely dead, two officials with knowledge of the matter said. Hamas sources told Reutes indications from Gaza suggested the terror group’s leader had been killed.
Israel’s main TV stations on Thursday evening all cited Israeli officials as saying definitively that Sinwar was dead. The three terrorists were killed when troops opened fire on a group of combatants on the ground floor of a Gaza building in an incident that began on Wednesday.

A strike was ordered against the building, which partially collapsed the structure. When the soldiers subsequently entered the building on Thursday, they realized that one of the dead terrorists “looked very much like” Sinwar. IDF troops were not targeting Sinwar and did not know he might be in the area where they were operating.
The army noted that there were no hostages present in the area where the three terrorists were killed.
