After Yahya Sinwar's Death

One by one, the leaders of the Hamas struggle have been killed in the mission of resistance against the Israeli occupation. After Ismail Haniyeh was killed in Tehran, Iran, on July 31, 2024, the latest Yahya Sinwar, a Hamas militia leader, was also killed in Rafah on October 16, 2024 due to an Israeli military attack. Sinwar's death undoubtedly caused mixed responses, from the Israeli side and the United States, they considered Sinwar's death as good news. They rejoiced at Sinwar's death because they believed Sinwar was the mastermind of the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, which then led to the war in Gaza. However, not for Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran.

Yahya Sinwar's death for them will further strengthen the spirit of their struggle for the independence of the Palestinian people from the shackles of Israeli occupation. Yahya Sinwar for them is a martyr, a martyr fighter who will always inspire the steps of their struggle to make Palestine an independent and sovereign nation state.

Yahya Sinwar may die, he may be killed, however, not with his spirit, ideals, and hopes. The fire of his spirit will be increasingly contagious to Hamas fighters and their supporters, that as long as the Zionist Israeli regime is still insolent, barbaric, arbitrarily colonizing the people and territory of Palestine as long as the fire of resistance will continue to burn.
