Iran: Sinwar ‘will become a role model for youth, children’ in fight for ‘Palestinian liberation’
The Iranian mission to the United Nations has warned that Israel’s killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar will serve to “strengthen” the “spirit of resistance” of the Palestinian population against Israel.
The mission highlighted that Sinwar “will become a role model for the youth and children who will follow his path towards the liberation of Palestine.”
It further stated that “as long as occupation and aggression exist, resistance will endure, for the martyr remains alive and a source of inspiration,” emphasizing Sinwar’s role as a model for future generations.
The Iranian mission emphasized that when Muslims see Yahya Sinwar “standing on the battlefield, in combat attire and outdoors, not hidden, confronting the enemy,” their “spirit of resistance” will be “strengthened.”
The IDF announced that it had killed Sinwar, the leader of the Hamas terrorist organization, in an operation in the southern Gaza Strip. The Israeli military stated that after a year-long hunt, troops had on Wednesday “eliminated Yahya Sinwar, the leader of the Hamas terrorist organization, in an operation in the southern Gaza Strip.”
‘Evil has suffered a heavy blow’
Israel called Sinwar’s death a “heavy blow” to Hamas, the Palestinian group it has been fighting for more than a year.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who vowed to crush Hamas at the start of the war, hailed Sinwar’s killing. Netanyahu stated, “It is not the end of the war in Gaza; it is the beginning of the end,” while calling the killing of Sinwar an “important landmark in the decline of the evil rule of Hamas.” He also declared, “Today, evil has suffered a heavy blow.”
Yahya Sinwar was the chief of Hamas in Gaza at the time of the October 7 attack and is considered by Israel to be the mastermind of those attacks, in which over 1,200 people were killed and another 250 were taken hostages. The October 7 attacks made Yahya Sinwar the most wanted man by Israel.
