The Israel Defense Forces published audio and visual documentation on Monday of the Oct. 16 engagement in Rafah, in the southernmost part of the Gaza Strip, when Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed by Israeli forces.
The troops that eliminated the architect of the Hamas terrorist attacks on Oct. 7, 2023, were part of an 828th “Bislah” Brigade combat team, which has been operating in the former Hamas stronghold of Rafah under the command of the Gaza Division in recent weeks.
“In an encounter with four terrorists, the leader of the Hamas terrorist organization, Yahya Sinwar, was eliminated,” said the IDF, adding that the brigade had killed dozens more terrorists, located weapons and destroyed hundreds of Hamas infrastructure sites.
