The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) has vowed to destroy the terror kingpin with him escaping from their clutches for months.

An IDF statement earlier today announced their potential mammoth scalp.

They said: “During an activity by IDF fighters in the Gaza Strip, three terrorists were killed.

“The IDF and Shin Bet are investigating the possibility that one of the terrorists is Yahya Sinwar.

“At this stage, the identity of the terrorists cannot be confirmed.”

Graphic photos are being widely shared online which appear to show Sinwar’s dead body underneath rubble.

He has a catastrophic head wound and what appears to be a blown up leg.

Sinwar has been the head of Hamas in Gaza since 2017 but was recently bumped up to chief after the suspected Israeli assassination of Ismail Haniyeh.

Last man standing Sinwar spent half of his adult life in Israeli prisons, has a reputation as a ruthless leader and is now the most powerful target left on Israel’s kill list.

The terror boss is believed to have been in hiding in tunnels under the city to evade the IDF, transport weapons and even hold hostages.
