The release comes as the anniversary of the Oct. 7 operation approaches, an assault that broke through the Israeli regime’s security barrier surrounding the Gaza Strip and targeted Israeli military positions and settlements.
The operation combined ground, aerial, naval and missile actions, with the Palestinian resistance movement saying it was launched in response to Israeli regime’s criminal actions and incursions against Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The operation also enabled resistance fighters to enter areas occupied since 1948, marking a major escalation in the decades-long conflict over Palestine.
Sinwar was born in October 1962 in the Khan Younis refugee camp in southern Gaza to a family displaced from the Palestinian city of Majdal during the 1948 occupation of Palestine.
He completed his studies in Arabic at the Islamic University of Gaza and became involved in resistance activities during his university years.
Sinwar was later identified as a central architect of the Oct. 7 operation, which observers described as an unprecedented assault against the Israeli regime after decades of occupation and conflict.
Following the assassination of Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in July 2024, Sinwar was chosen to lead the movement’s political bureau.
He was ultimately martyred on Oct. 16, 2024, during a direct confrontation with Israeli regime forces in the Tel al-Sultan neighborhood of Rafah in southern Gaza.
