Fox News
Hamas has named the mastermind of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel as its new leader, the terror group said Tuesday.
In a statement, Hamas announced "the selection of Commander Yahya Sinwar as head of the movement’s political bureau, succeeding the martyred leader Ismail Haniyeh, may God have mercy on him." Louis Casiano is a reporter for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to louis.casiano@fox.com.
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.
