Hamas leader Sinwar killed, Israel says

GAZA-(MaraviPost)-Hamas leader Sinwar has been killed in the Southern Gaza.

Dental images and DNA samples being tested, says Israel.

A statement has just come in from the Israeli authorities about the work being carried out to confirm if Yahya Sinwar has been killed.

A joint statement from the Israel Defense Forces and Israel Police says that dental images have been submitted to a forensics lab and DNA testing is currently in progress.

These samples from the alleged body will be compared to records Israel will have of Hamas leader as a result of the 22 years Sinwar spent in Israeli jail.

The statement goes on to say that Israeli police, the IDF and the Shin Bet intelligence agency are “actively working to establish a definitive identification” and that further information will be released when available.
