Yahya Sinwar's death is Israel's biggest victory so far in the war against Hamas, but probably not the end

ABC  

The killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has been inevitable since he was blamed for orchestrating the terrorist attack on Israel last October, which left 1,200 people dead. Israel has long debated whether killing enemy leaders achieves longer-term strategic aims, with some senior military and intelligence figures concluding it does the opposite. His killing, along with other senior Hamas figures behind the attacks, gives Israel a tangible "win", as it continues to fight both Hamas in Gaza, and growing international condemnation. Another surprising fact is that Sinwar, who founded Hamas's internal security unit, was not jailed for killing Israelis, but for killing four Palestinians suspected of collaborating with Israel.
