Israel threatens Sinwar after his appointment as new Hamas leader ... with death

Sinwar is believed to be the mastermind behind the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, which makes him one of the most wanted leaders of the organization. Israel has been taking military action against targets in the Gaza Strip since the attack, and international efforts are underway to prevent an expected retaliatory attack by Iran and its allies.
