(FILES) Yahya Sinwar, leader of the Palestinian Hamas movement's political wing, poses for a 'selfie' picture with supporters as he tours the Al-Rimal neighbourhood in Gaza City, on May 26, 2021, to assess the damaged caused during the recent bombing by Israeli forces. Israel conducted raids on Gaza on October 18, 2024, pressing its year-long war to crush Hamas after dealing it a massive blow with the killing of its leader, Yahya Sinwar, the previous day. Hailing the killing of Sinwar, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the war sparked by Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack was not over, but added that it was "the beginning of the end".
