Hours after the confirmation of the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a message to the people of Gaza, stating that the conflict could come to an end as early as the following day if Hamas agrees to disarm and release the hostages. Netanyahu shared a video announcing Sinwar's death, emphasizing the possibility of peace if certain conditions are met. He was fatally wounded in Rafah by the courageous members of the Israeli Defense Forces. While this is not the conclusion of the conflict in Gaza, it marks the commencement of its resolution. I have a straightforward message for the residents of Gaza: the conflict can be resolved promptly. "Hamas can end the situation by disarming and releasing our hostages. The Israel Defence Forces announced that Sinwar, alongside two other militants, have been neutralized by Israel. Prime Minister Netanyahu disclosed that Hamas is currently detaining 101 hostages in Gaza, hailing from 23 different countries, which includes Israel." Israel is devoted to using all available resources to ensure the safe return of all individuals. The Israeli Prime Minister stated, "Israel will ensure the security of individuals who release our hostages."
Issuing a strong caution to the captors of Israeli hostages, the Israeli Prime Minister pledged that Israel will actively pursue and prosecute them.
An official statement from Israel's military declared the elimination of Hezbollah leader Jalal Mustafa Hariri in the Qana area.
The health ministry, as cited by the ANI news agency, reported three fatalities due to Israeli shelling in the Tayr Debba region near Tyre.
Hezbollah's primary stronghold in Beirut's southern neighborhoods was also subject to Israeli airstrikes, with additional attacks reported in Lebanon's southern region and the Bekaa area in the east.
Hezbollah claimed responsibility for a third rocket assault on the northern Israeli town of Safed within a 24-hour span.
The group announced the destruction of an Israeli tank near the Lebanese border using a guided missile following clashes with soldiers engaging in incursions in the vicinity.
The Israeli military reported approximately 90 Hezbollah projectiles breaching into Israel on Wednesday.
Israel intensified its bombing campaigns in late September and eventually deployed ground troops across the Lebanese border by the end of the month.

Israeli Military Reports Tracking and Eliminating Hamas Chief Yahya Sinwar in Gaza
Israel considers the death of Sinwar, aged 61, a significant blow to Hamas following the group's attacks on October 7, 2023.
According to the Israeli military, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed in a firefight in southern Gaza as he attempted to evade detection by moving from house to house.
In an official statement, the Israeli military confirmed that after a year-long pursuit, on October 16, 2024, IDF soldiers from the Southern Command successfully eliminated Yahya Sinwar, the leader of the Hamas terrorist organization in southern Gaza.
The IDF and ISA (Shin Bet internal security agency) carried out numerous operations in the area over the past year to restrict Sinwar's movement, culminating in his elimination by IDF soldiers from the 828th Brigade during a recent operation that also led to the elimination of three other terrorists. Following the body identification process, it has been verified that Yahya Sinwar has been terminated.
In a subsequent announcement, military representative Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari disclosed that Sinwar was eliminated upon detection alongside two other combatants in Rafah district of the region.

The IDF has released a photo showing security chiefs meeting following news of Sinwar's elimination. Speculation is circulating regarding the death of Yahya Sinwar, the alleged mastermind behind the Hamas massacre on October 7.
Referred to as the "Butcher of Khan Younis," Sinwar was known for his involvement in interrogating and executing individuals perceived as Palestinian informants and violators of Islamic norms during his time as head of Hamas' internal security service.
He spent more than twenty years in an Israeli prison for his role in the killing of two Israeli soldiers. He was freed in 2011 in connection with the Gilad Shalit agreement.

Nayab Saini has been sworn in as the Chief Minister of Haryana, with the presence of the Prime Minister and key NDA allies at the ceremony. At 54 years old, Saini is serving his second term in this role, solidifying the BJP's unprecedented third consecutive term in office in the state. The swearing-in ceremony took place at the Parade Ground near Chandigarh, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and several BJP leaders and 18 Chief Ministers from NDA-ruled states in attendance.
This event, held just prior to key assembly elections in Maharashtra and Jharkhand, is viewed as a demonstration of the party's strength. Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya officiated the administration of the oath of office and secrecy to Mr. Saini, who assumed the role of chief minister in March, succeeding former chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar. In addition to Mr. Saini, BJP leaders Anil Vij, Krishan Lal Panwar, and Rao Narbir Singh were sworn into office. Mr. Saini has been involved in politics for almost three decades. Born in 1970, he commenced his political career under the guidance of Mr. Khattar.
Mr. Saini was elected as an MLA from Naraingarh in 2014, and subsequently appointed to the state Cabinet in 2016. His ascension to fame occurred while serving as a Member of Parliament representing Kurukshetra, a position he secured in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections by defeating Nirmal Singh of the Congress party by a substantial margin. Prior to his inauguration, Mr. Saini engaged in a series of religious visits, paying homage at Valmiki Bhawan, a nearby gurdwara, and the Mansa Devi temple in Panchkula.
The BJP succeeded in securing a third consecutive term in Haryana, against all expectations. During the October 5th state assembly elections, the BJP secured an exceptional victory by winning 48 out of the 90 seats. The Congress, the main opposition party, secured 37 seats in the election, whereas smaller regional parties such as the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) did not achieve notable success. The Indian National Lok Dal (INLD), formerly a dominant political entity, now holds only two seats.
