Moolenaar: Death of Hamas Leader is Justice for His Victims

Today, Hamas leader and architect of the October 7th attacks on Israel, Yahya Sinwar, was killed in a targeted military operation conducted by Israel, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed.

"The world is safer today thanks to the Israeli military operation that eliminated Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. American citizens have been killed by Sinwar and his terrorists, and his death today is justice for the families of his victims. I will continue to stand with Israel as it fights to free the remaining hostages and defeat Hamas," said Congressman John Moolenaar.

Sinwar organized the attacks against Israeli civilians on October 7, 2023, where Hamas brutalized communities in southern Israel. Hamas killed more than 1,200 innocent civilians, and took 254 people, including 12 American citizens as hostage on October 7.
