Details are beginning to emerge about the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in Gaza following a random encounter with Israeli forces. Local media reported that the event was incidental, as troops on patrol spotting a group of armed people hiding in a nearby building.
They then instructed a tank, part of the L Company squad, to fire on the building. The impact seems to have fatally wounded Sinwar, something that was later confirmed by the 450th infantry battalion upon entering the building. Troops didn't know the Hamas chief was part of the group, something they only found out after searching through the rubble.
