Hamas has named the mastermind of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel as its new leader, the terror group said Tuesday.

Sinwar is close to Iran and has worked over the years to build up the strength of Hamas. His promotion came following the death of Ismail Haniyeh. Haniyeh was killed in an alleged bombing in Tehran, while a top Hezbollah commander was also killed in Beirut last week in a presumed Israeli strike.
