carried on despite the killings of other Palestinian militant leaders before him.â $ Hamas lives and will stay alive, â $ Khamenei
said.Since Israel declared Sinwarâ $ s death Thursday and a leading Hamas political authorities verified the death Friday, Hamas has
repeated its position that the hostages they drew from Israel a year earlier will not be released up until there is a cease-fire in Gaza and
a withdrawal of Israeli troops
The staunch position pressed back versus a declaration by Netanyahu that his countryâ $ s military will keep combating until the captives
are launched, and will remain in Gaza to prevent a seriously damaged Hamas from rearming.Sinwar was the primary designer of the 2023 Hamas
raid on Israel that eliminated some 1,200 people, mainly civilians, and abducted another 250

its population of 2.3 million people, and left them struggling to find food, water, medication and fuel.Sinwarâ $ s killing appeared to be
an opportunity front-line encounter with Israeli troops on Wednesday, and it could shift the dynamics of the war in Gaza even as Israel
presses its offensive versus Hezbollah with ground soldiers in southern Lebanon and airstrikes in other areas of the country.Israel has
actually promised to destroy Hamas politically in Gaza, and killing Sinwar was a top military priority
But Netanyahu said in a Thursday night speech announcing the killing that â $ our war is not yet ended.â $ Still, the governments of
Israelâ $ s allies and tired citizens of Gaza expressed hope that Sinwarâ $ s death would lead the way for an end to the war.In Israel,
families of hostages still held in Gaza demanded the Israeli government use Sinwarâ $ s eliminating as a method to restart negotiations to
