Hamas has confirmed Israel killed the organization's leader, Yahya Sinwar, marking what could be a turning point in its yearlong war. Sinwar was apparently not killed as part of a targeted strike, but in the course of Israel's indiscriminate assault on the Gaza Strip. "It's not a war that's happening against Hamas … This is an Israeli genocide against the Palestinian people," says Palestinian analyst Tareq Baconi, author of _Hamas Contained: The Rise and Pacification of Palestinian Resistance_. "The removal of someone like Yahya Sinwar will not stop the Netanyahu government from carrying out its genocide in the Gaza Strip."
