Israel claims to have killed Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar in Gaza.
Israel's military said on Thursday it is checking the possibility that it has killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in Gaza, while Israeli broadcasters KAN and N12 News cited officials as saying that the Palestinian leader was confirmed killed.
Hamas has yet to confirm the death of its leader as Israeli officials are reportedly conducting DNA tests to verify Sinwar's identity.
