Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to continue military operations in Gaza and Lebanon despite the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. Sinwar, the mastermind of the October 7th attack on Israel, was killed by Israeli forces in Gaza, but Netanyahu emphasized that the conflict will persist until Hamas-held hostages are freed. The U.S. expressed hope for a ceasefire, though Netanyahu’s comments suggested Israel would push forward to dismantle what he calls the axis of evil. Israel's involvement in Lebanon centers on intensifying military strikes against Hezbollah in response to the group's support for Hamas, leading to widespread casualties and displacement.
