Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar's autopsy reveals he was killed by a gunshot wound to the head, with severe bleeding from a smashed forearm likely caused by shrapnel from a small missile or tank shell. The 61-year-old's body also showed multiple serious injuries prior to the fatal shot. Sinwar's identity was confirmed through DNA testing of his severed finger. Dr. Chen Kugel, director of Israel's national forensic institute, oversaw the autopsy and shared these findings with The New York Times. Sinwar's death occurred during an Israeli military operation in Gaza on October 16, 2024.
