Following the autopsy conducted by Dr. Chen Kugel, the chief pathologist at Israel’s National Center of Forensic Medicine in Tel Aviv, it has been confirmed that Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader, was killed by a gunshot wound to the head. Dr. Kugel stated that despite other serious injuries sustained by Sinwar, including from a tank shell or missile, the fatal blow was the bullet to the head.
The Israeli military had initially reported that Sinwar was killed after a tank fired a shell into the building where he was located, without mentioning any involvement of their troops in firing a fatal gunshot.
