Israel-Hamas War

Israel-Hamas War|Death of Ismail Haniya
Expert: The new leader will drive the war into the limelight

Hamas's new political leader Yahya Sinwar, who has been called "the butcher from Khan Yunis", is uncompromising, terror researcher Magnus Ranstrop tells TT. And now a ceasefire in Gaza is described as being in his hands.

- He will drive the war into the tile.

According to Ranstorp, Sinwar as leader means that ties are strengthened to Iran and the axis of resistance that Iran leads: Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Huthi militia in Yemen and the Shia militia in Iraq.

Sinwar, described as the mastermind behind the October 7 terror attack on Israel, took over as military leader in Gaza in 2017. He was named the new political leader after his predecessor Ismail Haniya was killed in an attack in Tehran last week.

Israel-Hamas War Victims
10 months of war - almost 40,000 dead in Gaza

At least 39,677 people have died in the first ten months of war between Israel and Hamas, according to the Gaza health authority, according to AFP. Additionally, 91,645 people have been reported injured in the war.

Israel has repeatedly questioned the figures, but several UN agencies working in Gaza state that the figures are credible and usually refer to them, writes the news agency, which has seen how the deaths are recorded.

The victims who can be identified are entered directly into the Ministry of Health's database. In cases where the victims cannot be identified or when no one is missing, the death is given a number and entered into the database together with the information available about the person. This is done by all hospitals in Gaza daily.
