Social media accounts circulated a post stating: "Urgent information indicates the arrest of Yahya Sinwar and that he has sustained serious injuries... and that all the guards surrounding him have been eliminated in one of the areas of Gaza." However, this news is false and completely untrue, with no official Israeli entity or Hebrew media outlet reporting any news about the arrest of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar as mentioned in the circulating post.
On the other hand, following the circulation of this post, Israeli Radio, citing military experts, reported that Yahya Sinwar is in control of the situation and that Hamas is far from breaking and is prepared to fight for a prolonged period. Israel described Sinwar as the mastermind behind the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, and his assassination is considered one of the goals of the ongoing aggression against the Gaza Strip, which has resulted in the martyrdom of thousands, the destruction of infrastructure, and a worsening humanitarian crisis.
