JUANA SUMMERS, HOST:Today, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, who was killed by the Israeli military in Gaza on Wednesday. Sinwar, a pivotal figure behind Hamas' October 7 attack, rose to become the group's top leader in July. To explain the larger implications of his death for Hamas, the region and the war with Israel, we're joined now by Daniel Byman. And Hamas has enough power remaining, enough people remaining, where it's going to remain strong in Gaza despite Israeli efforts. SUMMERS: Now I'll just remind folks that Israel also killed Hezbollah's longtime leader, Hassan Nasrallah, just a few weeks ago.
