Israel’s killing of Hamas’ leader is a harsh blow, but hardly fatal. What happens now?

LA Times  

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed this week by the Israeli military in Gaza. The leadership vacuum left by Sinwar’s killing will likely be temporary, longtime observers say, but it raises a host of questions about how Hamas will carry forward its battle with Israel. In confirming Sinwar’s death — a full day after it was announced by Israel — Hamas said Friday it mourned the loss of a “great leader.” But it voiced defiance, vowing not to return the hostages seized on Oct. 7 of last year to Israel until there is a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip and a withdrawal of Israeli troops. Propaganda boost Many regional observers were surprised by Israel’s release of dramatic drone video showing the last moments of Sinwar’s life as he battled Israeli troops who encountered him and a pair of fellow fighters. The slain leader’s backers, she wrote, “will see in it the embodiment of Palestinian resistance, devastated and still defiantly fighting, not cowering in a tunnel.” The Iran connection Hamas is one of the Iran- Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian condemned Sinwar’s killing, and Hezbollah and Yemen’s Houthi rebels — fellow proxy groups — both expressed solidarity and condolences.
