Ali Baraka, a senior Hamas official, has said that the Palestinian cause is too deeply rooted to end with the death of any single leader. Marking the second anniversary of Yahya Sinwar’s death, Baraka described him as an example of leadership who remained alongside his fighters on the front lines until his death.
A professor of Islamic and Middle Eastern studies at Hebrew University, referring to the disclosure of UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed's warning to Benjamin Netanyahu about a possible operation by Yahya Sinwar, emphasized that the Israeli Prime Minister's disregard for this warning is reminiscent of the regime's intelligence failure before the October 1973 war and the October 7 operation.
Lilach Sigan, an Israeli writer, in an article in the Hebrew newspaper Maariv, analyzed the strategic dimensions of the October 7 operation and the success of Yahya Sinwar, the head of Hamas in Gaza, in the "battle of consciousness."
