During a patrol in southern Gaza, an Israeli unit unexpectedly encountered Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, challenging prior intelligence that he was hiding underground.
Israeli officials stated that a firefight led to the killing of three militants, revealing that Sinwar's body bore distinctive features matching those from past footage.
The discovery of the body of Sinwar in an unexpected location raises questions about the effectiveness of intelligence that believed he was deeply hidden.
Photographs taken after the firefight show distinguishing marks on Sinwar's body, including specific moles and crooked teeth, corroborating his identification by Israeli troops.
