The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah is vowing to launch a new phase of fighting against invading Israeli troops, a day after Israel said its forces in the Palestinian enclave of Gaza had killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar,

More than a year after Hamas’ devastating October 7 attacks on Israel, the country’s military said Thursday it had killed the man it considers to have been the chief architect of that cross-border incursion – raising questions about the future of the war and of the militant group itself,

The Israeli military confirmed that Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, was killed on Wednesday. His body was identified by the Israeli authorities, the military said.
