Abdel Salam Haniyeh, the eldest son of former Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, published a blog post on Thursday evening, “in which he confirmed the killing of the current head of the movement, Yahya Sinwar, in Rafah.”
Abdel Salam Haniyeh said in the post: “May God have mercy on you, O Master of Men. He was engaged in a confrontation, not retreating, defending his religion and his country and exposing him to Ruh and Rayhan. He greeted your beloved and brother, Hajj Abu Al-Abd… Goodbye, our beloved Abu Ibrahim.”
Haniyeh’s son also published a Qur’anic verse from Surah An-Nisa: “Let those who trade the life of this world for the hereafter be killed in the cause of God, and whoever kills in the cause of God is killed or overcomes Then We will give him a great reward (74).”
Israeli Army Radio reported that “Israeli forces assassinated Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in Rafah.”
It is noteworthy that “Yahya Al-Sinwar,” head of the “Hamas” movement, born in 1962, is considered by Israel to be the architect of the Al-Aqsa flood operation on October 9, 2023. Israel arrested him several times and sentenced him to four life sentences before he was released in a prisoner exchange deal in 2011, and he returned to his activity in Leadership of the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas.
He was elected head of the movement in the Gaza Strip in 2017 and again in 2021, and in 2024 he was elected head of the movement’s political bureau after Israel assassinated his predecessor, Ismail Haniyeh.
Yahya Ibrahim Hassan Al-Sinwar was born on October 19, 1962 in the Khan Yunis refugee camp in the southern Gaza Strip. He received his education at Khan Yunis Secondary School for Boys, before joining the Islamic University of Gaza and graduating from there with a bachelor’s degree in the Arabic Studies Division.
On November 21, 2011, he married Samar Muhammad Abu Zamar, a Gazan woman who holds a master’s degree in fundamentals of religion from the Islamic University of Gaza. He has one son named Ibrahim.
