On October 17, 2024, Israel confirmed the death of Yahya Sinwar, a key figure behind the Hamas attack on Israel in October 2023. Sinwar’s death marks a significant moment in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. In recent weeks, Israeli strikes in Lebanon also targeted Hezbollah, killing several high-ranking leaders, including Hassan Nasrallah.
Since the war began, Israeli forces have eliminated several Hamas and Hezbollah leaders. Here’s a list of key figures killed:
