Israel’s official public broadcaster noted on Thursday that Sinwar's constant movement explained his readiness for combat, as he was armed and wearing military gear. Israeli army claimed Sinwar was killed Wednesday, but his body was only discovered after the area was searched Thursday. "The troops pulled back and sent a drone, which detected an injured figure, face covered, sitting in a room and attempting to knock the drone out of the air with a stick."
Israel's announcement of Sinwar’s killing comes more than two months after he was selected as the leader of Hamas’ political bureau.
