"At this time, the identity of the terrorists cannot be confirmed", the statement said. There were no signs of hostages in the building where the men were killed.

Pictures of a corpse resembling Sinwar have been circulating on social media. He is considered the mastermind of the massacre on October 7, 2023, which triggered the Gaza war and the regional escalation.
