Lebanese television reports that the vacant position as leader of the Hamas terrorists after the liquidation of Yahya Sinwar was quickly filled and Khaled Meshal became the new leader of the militants.
However, according to media reports, Mashaal will oversee all communications with the main participants in the negotiations with Israel. According to the LBCI television channel, the leadership of the Hamas terrorist organization informed officials in Turkey, Qatar and Egypt about the death of Yahya Sinwar, head of its political office.
Khaled Meshal is known to have previously led the terrorist organization Hamas from 1996 to 2017, when he served as head of the Politburo. In recent years he has lived in Qatar, continuing as a leader of Hamas, but outside the Palestinian Authority.
As previously reported, the liquidation of Yahya Sinwar, leader of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, became a historic event in the confrontation between Israel and this group. Micha Kobi, a former senior Shin Bet official who once interrogated Sinwar, expressed his thoughts on the possible consequences for Hamas terrorists after his death.
Previously, Cursor wrote that the Israel Defense Forces presented rare images capturing the last moments of the life of one of the leaders of the Hamas terrorists, Yahya Sinwar, who was killed in Rafah on the night of October 16. The video captured the moments when Sinvar, hiding his face under a mask, was left alone in a destroyed building, surrounded by the destruction and chaos of the city.
Furthermore, Cursor has already reported that, according to information from Palestinian sources, the liquidation of Yahya Sinwar is the most significant blow suffered by Hamas in its entire history, even despite previous losses among the organization’s founders.
