The Israeli Defense Forces are investigating whether Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in a strike in Gaza.

"Initial report - During IDF operations in the Gaza Strip, three terrorists were eliminated. The IDF and ISA are checking the possibility that one of the terrorists was Yahya Sinwar. At this stage, the identity of the terrorists cannot be confirmed," the IDF said in a joint statement with Shin Bet, per the Jerusalem Post.

"In the building where the terrorists were eliminated, there were no signs of the presence of hostages in the area. The forces that are operating in the area are continuing to operate with the required caution," the statement added.

Sinwar was named the new head of Hamas in August after Ismail Haniyeh was killed in Iran in July. Sinwar was the "mastermind" of the October 7 massacre in Israel that left over 1,200 people dead and over 200 more taken hostage. Sinwar was named as one of six people charged by the US Department of Justice with terrorism, murder conspiracy, and sanctions evasion counts in September.
