Israel Vs Hamas | Hamas Names Yahya Sinwar As Its New Leader After Ismail Haniyeh | News18 | N18G

Sinwar, who until now was the movement’s Gaza chief, replaces Ismail Haniyeh, whose killing in Tehran last week sent tensions soaring across the Middle East and raised fears of a coordinated attack on Israel by Iran and its regional proxies. By choosing him as the group’s chief Hamas “is sending a strong message to the occupation that Hamas continues its path of resistance“, a senior Hamas official told. Sinwar stands accused of masterminding the group’s October 7 attacks, the worst in Israel’s history, which left 1,198 dead and 251 taken hostage according to an AFP tally and Israeli official figures. #yahyasinwar #israelhamaswar #hamasvsisrael #ceasefireingazanow #news18 News18 Mobile App -
