Hezbollah vows to escalate conflict with Israel after killing of Hamas leader Sinwar
Summary: Hezbollah announced it will escalate its conflict with Israel following the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar by Israeli forces in southern Gaza. Sinwar's death is seen as a significant moment in the ongoing war that began after Hamas's attack on Israel in October 2023.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that this event marks a turning point in the war against Hamas, emphasizing that efforts will continue until all hostages are returned. The Israeli military claims to have inflicted heavy casualties on Hamas, with over 42,000 Palestinians reported killed.
Iran reaffirmed its support for Hamas, stating that Sinwar's death would strengthen resistance efforts. The U.S. government views this development as an opportunity to negotiate a ceasefire and secure the release of hostages, with Secretary of State Antony Blinken engaging with regional leaders.
