Who is Yahya Sinwar, the new leader of Hamas?

Associated Press  

Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind behind the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel, has been announced as the new leader of the militant group Hamas. Sinwar became head of Hamas in Gaza, effectively putting him in control of the territory, and worked with Haniyeh to align the group with Iran and its proxies around the region while also building the group’s military capabilities. The October attack on Israel Sinwar, along with Mohammed Deif, the head of Hamas’ armed wing, is believed to have engineered the surprise Oct. 7 attack on Israel. Hamas said it launched the attack in retaliation for Israel’s treatment of Palestinians and to push the Palestinian cause back onto the world agenda.
