Biden noted that the operation to track Sinwar was a collaborative effort between Israeli intelligence and U.S. Special Operations forces. He emphasised the complexity of the mission, pointing out that Hamas leaders sought refuge in underground tunnels beneath Gaza, prioritising their survival over the lives of civilians above. The statement reads, “Early this morning, Israeli authorities informed my national security team that a mission they conducted in Gaza likely killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. This is a good day for Israel, for the United States, and for the world. “As the leader of the terrorist group Hamas, Sinwar was responsible for the deaths of thousands of Israelis, Palestinians, Americans, and citizens from over 30 countries.
