UPDATE 11:45 a.m. Israeli forces in Gaza killed Hamas’ top leader Yahya Sinwar, a chief architect of last year’s attack on Israel that sparked the war, the military said Thursday.

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has been killed in operations in Gaza, Israel's military has confirmed.

Members of Israel's security cabinet have been informed that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is very likely dead, officials have said.

Yahya Sinwar was among more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners released in 2011 by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as part of an exchange for an Israeli soldier captured by Hamas in a cross-border raid.

His understanding of the everyday hardships and brutal realities in Gaza was well-received by Gazans and made people feel at ease.

Yahya Sinwar masterminded an attack on Israel that shocked the world, unleashing a still-widening catastrophe with no end in sight. In Gaza, no figure loomed larger in determining the war’s trajectory than the 61-year-old Hamas leader.

The prime minister also instructed his aides to inform the families of Israeli hostages about the death of the Hamas chief.
