Hamas leader Sinwar killed

Palestinian resistance movement Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has been killed by Israeli forces in the Palestinian enclave, Israel said yesterday.
There are a number of possible scenarios for what happens next but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the war would go on.
The Israeli military said it had killed Sinwar in an operation in the southern Gaza Strip on Wednesday.
There was no immediate comment from Hamas, but sources in the group said that indications from Gaza suggested Sinwar had been killed in an Israeli operation.
In Israel, families of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza said they hoped that a ceasefire could now be reached that would bring home the captives.
In Gaza, pounded relentlessly by Israeli forces for a year, residents said they believed the war would continue but they still clung to their hope of self-determination. (Reuters)
