Hamas has still not officially responded to the Israeli announcement, but its ally Iran released a statement commemorating the Palestinian terrorist leader via its mission to the United Nations. Sinwar was a chief architect of last year's October 7th massacre of more than 1200 Israeli men, women and children.
Meanwhile, Israel’s military said Friday that its forces killed two terrorists who crossed into south Israel from neighboring Jordan.
The terrorists entered Israeli territory south of the Dead Sea, the military said.
Such infiltrations into Israeli territory are relatively rare, especially as Israel has ramped up border security since the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack.
