The United States has announced criminal charges against Hamas' top leaders over their roles in planning, supporting and perpetrating the 7 October attack in southern Israel, which resulted in the deaths of 1,200 people.
Attorney General Merrick Garland stated that those charged, including Yahya Sinwar, have led Hamas's efforts to destroy Israel and murder civilians, and these charges are part of a broader strategy.
The charges unsealed today signify the ongoing efforts by the US to target all aspects of Hamas's operations, indicating that further actions will follow.
The living defendants consist of Yahya Sinwar, Khaled Meshaal, and Ali Baraka, while the deceased include Ismail Haniyeh and Mohammed Deif, highlighting the organization's longstanding leadership and operational campaigns.
