“Today the news of Sinwar’s martyrdom was published. Of course, so far there has been no confirmations from Hamas and as far as we are concerned, confirmation from Hamas is the news we believe. If he is martyred, we pray to Allah to have mercy on him. He did his duty. He is the engineer of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. His idea will not die and the youth will continue in his footsteps. As for Hamas, its senior leaders were martyred, from Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, to Al-Rantisi, to Al-Jaabari, to Al-Attar. I mean, many leaders were martyred, but Hamas is still present in the field and is still resisting.”

Yahya Sinwar has prepared a hundred leaders like him.”

STORYLINE:
Protesters gathered near the Israeli embassy in Jordan on Thursday to express their support for Hamas leader Yahia Sinwar who the Israeli military said had been killed during fighting in Gaza.
“If he is martyred, we pray to Allah to have mercy on him," said Mahmoud Khalil, who attended the protest.
"He did his duty…his idea will not die."
Demonstrators chanted pro-Sinwar and anti-Israel slogans and called upon the Jordanian government to end all relations with Israel.
The Israeli military said on Thursday forces in Gaza killed Sinwar, a chief architect of last year’s attack on Israel that sparked the war.
The military confirmed Sinwar’s death after conducting DNA tests on a body it said was among three militants killed Wednesday during operations in Gaza.
There was no immediate confirmation from Hamas of Sinwar’s death.
Sinwar has topped Israel’s most wanted list since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war just over a year ago, and his killing strikes a powerful blow to the militant group.
He was chosen as Hamas’s top leader in July after his predecessor, Ismail Haniyeh, was assassinated in an apparent Israeli strike in the Iranian capital Tehran.
Israel has also claimed to have killed the head of Hamas’ military wing Mohammed Deif in an airstrike, but the group has said he survived.
The report of his death came as Israeli forces continued a more than week-old major air and ground assault in the Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza.
