Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers killed three terrorists in the Gaza Strip. One of them may be Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the IDF in Telegram and The Times of Israel.
“The initial report is that three terrorists were killed during IDF operations in the Gaza Strip. The IDF and the Israeli Space Agency are checking the possibility that one of the terrorists was Yahya Sinwar.
