Following the of October 7, 2023 attack, Yahya Sinwar had become Israel's most wanted man, Sinwar rose to the top of Israel's target list with his leadership and part in planning the attacks.

Al-Hayya also addressed the matter of the hostages Hamas had seized during the attack in the same comment, Hamas would not release the hostages until the conflict in Gaza ends, he made plain. Linking their release to a ceasefire and urging Israel to leave Gaza and free Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails, he said, "The hostages will not return... unless the aggression against our people in Gaza stops."

Al-Hayya also underlined that killing Sinwar would inspire Hamas to get strength from his death rather than weaken the organisation. Declaring Sinwar had joined "the leaders and symbols of the movement who preceded him," he implied his death would inspire the militant group's cause even more.

Originally a well-known leader within Hamas, Sinwar had become a major player in Gaza's leadership of the organization, Although his passing marks a turning point in the continuous struggle between Israel and Hamas, the war does not seem to be de-escalating as Hamas promises to keep on its resistance.

The situation is still unstable; both sides are caught in a vicious cycle of violence that has claimed lives on both sides of the war, Tensions have been raised by Israel's military actions in Gaza and Hamas's ongoing attacks, which have resulted in extensive damage and a death toll in the area.

The international community keeps urging cease-fires and diplomatic solutions as the conflict rages on, but the deep-rooted character of the hostilities makes a resolution challenging, With both Israel and Hamas not wavering, Sinwar's death marks yet another turning point in this protracted conflict.

Hamas verified the death of Yahya Sinwar, leader of Hamas, slain in Gaza by Israeli forces, The group has promised not to release hostages until the war finishes, and Hamas sees Sinwar's passing as a source of fresh will for their continuous struggle, With no obvious end in sight to the hostilities, this development gives the already tense and violent scenario between Israel and Hamas still another degree of complexity.
