Gaza: Many pictures are going viral amid fears that Hamas Chief Yahya Sinwar may have been killed in the Israeli attack. The viral picture is matching that of Yahya Sinwar.

Although the IDF has said that at present there is only a possibility that Sinwar has been killed, it is gathering evidence to confirm this. The Israeli Army has also decided to conduct a DNA test on the body of the terrorist matching Yahya Sinwar. Meanwhile, the name of Yahya Sinwar’s successor has also started emerging.
Yahya Sinwar’s possible successor, Khaled Mashal.
It has been claimed in Iran Observer that if Yahya Sinwar has indeed been killed then his new successor could be Khaled Mashal. He is very close to Yahya Sinwar and hence could be his new potential successor. Iran Observer has claimed that Khaled Mashal is currently in Türkiye. But there is a fear that the Israelis might kill him on the spot after getting information about his successor.
Israeli army has expressed fear of Sinwar being killed
The Israeli Army has expressed fear that Hamas Chief Yahya Sinwar may have been killed in an airstrike on Gaza today. However, she is still gathering evidence to confirm this. Yahya Sinwar was responsible for the horrific massacre that occurred on Israel on October 7, 2023, in which more than 1250 people were killed and about 250 Israelis were taken hostage by Hamas terrorists. Yahya Sinwar was then the number 2 position leader in Hamas. But after the assassination of former Hamas chief Ismail Haniya in Iran, Sinwar was made his new successor. Iran had alleged that Israel had killed Ismail Haniya in Tehran. Although Israel never accepted it officially.
Who is Khalid Mashal?
Khaled Mashal is the leader of Hamas. He is one of the founding members of Hamas. In 1987, when the Muslims of Egypt and Palestine together formed Hamas, Khaled Mashal was its senior member. He has also been the head of the Hamas Politburo. Khaled Mashal currently lives in Arab countries. Therefore he is considered the external leader of Hamas. It is claimed that agents of Israeli intelligence agency Mossad once attempted to kill him by injecting poison outside his office in Jordan’s capital Amman in 1997, but he survived. Due to this, the then King of Jordan, Hussein, became so angry that he announced to hang those who tried to assassinate him and to end the Israel-Jordan treaty. Mashal, 68, was considered the main successor to former Hamas chief Ismail Haniya after his assassination. But Yahya Sinwar was then made the next Hamas Chief. (Input-Reuters)
