President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris celebrated on Thursday the news that Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas and the primary architect of the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel, was killed by IDF forces, also saying the development should help bring an end of the war in Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the Sinwar's death on Thursday afternoon. He said that after Israeli forces fired at a building where Hamas were seemingly holed up, they retrieved a body that ended up being Sinwar's. A sample of his DNA, as well as his dental records and fingerprints were used to identify the body and confirm his identity.
