Security forces are investigating the possible death of Yahya Sinuar.

The Israeli special services are considering versions of the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. The security forces do not have precise information about his fate, since he has not been in contact for a long time. This may be due to injury, death or a special departure into hiding.

The hypothesis about Sinuar's death was put forward by military intelligence, while the Shin Bet claims that the Islamist leader is hiding and alive. Information about his possible death is hidden, and the published reports with his name raise doubts about their authenticity.

It is not yet clear whether Sinwar communicates with his subordinates and the Hamas leadership, or whether he participates in the affairs of his organization. Intelligence has found no signs of activity by the leader in recent weeks, which leaves many questions open.
