Iran has stated that the death of Yahya Sinwar, a prominent Hamas leader, in an active warzone will enhance the "spirit of resistance" among Palestinians. Sinwar was killed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) during an operation in Gaza on October 17.
Having led Hamas operations in Gaza since 2017, Sinwar was considered a key figure behind the October 7, 2023, attack that resulted in the deaths of approximately 1,200 people in Israel. According to Israeli officials, Sinwar was found in a building in Rafah during a routine IDF operation, although it remains unclear if he was residing there or just passing through.
The IDF engaged in a firefight with Hamas fighters near the location, ultimately discovering Sinwar alongside several other Hamas commanders.
In a statement on X, Iran's mission to the United Nations remarked, "When Muslims look up to Martyr Sinwar standing on the battlefield… the spirit of resistance will be strengthened." They emphasized that Sinwar would serve as a role model for future generations committed to the liberation of Palestine.
Iran's statement further asserted that as long as occupation and aggression persist, the resistance will endure, positioning Sinwar's legacy as a source of inspiration. Iran has been known to support Hamas and other militant groups in the region as part of an alliance against Israel, asserting they will continue their operations until a ceasefire is established in Gaza.
