The "Al-Aqsa Flood" operation backfired, resulting in the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and complicating Iran's strategic position.
Israel's military response has weakened Iran's influence, as it lost a key proxy in Gaza and is now more vulnerable to Israeli strikes.
Sinwar's assassination is a strategic setback for both Hamas and Iran. His death may create new opportunities for Israel to negotiate hostage releases and seek an end to the Gaza conflict. Sinwar’s actions have led to significant suffering for Palestinians and heightened tensions in the Middle East.
With Sinwar gone, Hamas will likely shift decision-making to its external leadership, which might consider a hostage deal. Muhammad Sinwar, Yahya’s brother, is now the leading figure in Gaza, supported by remaining military leaders.
