The terrorist group Hezbollah said it will escalate the conflict with Israel after Israeli troops killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, and Iran stated that the “resistance will endure.”

Sinwar was regarded by Israel as the mastermind behind the Oct. 7, 2023, incursion by Hamas terrorists, who carried out a massacre across southern Israel, leaving about 1,200 people dead, thousands more wounded, and 251 people taken captive. According to Israel, Hamas still has 101 hostages in the Gaza Strip.
