The Israel Defense Forces have declared that the conflict in Gaza is ongoing despite the elimination of Yahya Sinwar, a top leader of Hamas. Sinwar, who was responsible for orchestrating the Oct. 7 attack, was targeted by IDF forces in a mission to bring him and other Hamas leaders to justice.
According to Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, declassified footage revealed Sinwar's movements in Gaza leading up to the attacks, as well as his efforts to hide in underground tunnels. The IDF has confirmed that there are still 101 hostages being held in Gaza under harsh conditions, and they are committed to ensuring their safe return.
