Hamas leader and Oct. 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar resurfaces after reports he may have been killed by Israeli airstrike

Hamas chief and Oct. 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar has reemerged after going off the grid for days — leading to speculation that he had been killed, according to a report.

Sinwar resumed contact with Hamas negotiators in Qatar after going radio silent, according to Axios reporter Barak Ravid.

Sinwar, whose status remained unknown after he went quiet on Sep. 22, resurfaced Monday to speak to Hamas’ delegation in Doha.

The blood-thirsty terror leader was the head of Hamas in Gaza when militants from the group invaded southern Israeli on Oct. 7 and murdered 1,200 people and kidnapped 251 others.

A former Israeli interrogator who spent 180 hours with Sinwar during his time in an Israeli prison said Sinwar is an extremist whose true goal is to destroy Israeli and kill all Jews.
