Israel accuses the Sinwar, 61, of being one of the main architects of the deadly attack launched by Hamas on Israeli territory on October 7, triggering the war. Since that day, Sinwar has not appeared in public.

Tensions rise in the Gaza Strip

For his part, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said that the appointment of Sinwar as head of Hamas is “one more reason to eliminate it quickly and wipe this despicable organization off the map”which the United States, the European Union and Israel classify as terrorist.

Hours before Haniyeh’s assassination, an Israeli airstrike killed Fuad Shukr, Hezbollah’s military commander, in a Beirut suburb. Hamas-backed Hezbollah is vowing retaliation.

The two attacks have heightened tensions in the region and could spread the conflict in Gaza, which has left nearly 40,000 dead in the narrow Palestinian territory of 2.4 million people.
