Israel spread leaflets with photos of the Hamas leader’s body in Gaza

“Whoever lays down his arms and hands over his hostages will be able to leave and live in peace,” said an Arabic leaflet dropped by Israeli military aircraft in the city of Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, on October 19. there is a paragraph.

The Israeli army’s leaflet also has a photo of the body of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and the words “Hamas no longer governs the Gaza Strip”. This content is excerpted from a statement by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on October 17, one day after Mr. Sinwar was confirmed dead.

On October 18, the Israeli army continued air strikes across the Gaza Strip, killing at least 32 people, according to strip health officials. The Israeli army also tightened the siege around hospitals in Jabalia, northern Gaza Strip, asking everyone there to evacuate to “separate Hamas members from civilians”.

Medical staff at hospitals said they refused to obey evacuation orders from the Israeli army because many sick people, including many critical cases, were not receiving care.

Israel announced that Hamas leader Sinwar, who took office in August, died when an army tank opened fire on the building where he was hiding on October 16. However, Israeli forensic officials later said Mr. Sinwar died from a gunshot wound to the head.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei praised leader Sinwar as a model of “the spirit of resistance and struggle”, affirming that “Hamas is and will continue to exist” after the death of this leader.
