The members of the police forensics laboratory made a comparison of the body's teeth based on photos and not on the body itself. According to the laboratory staff, there is a certain identification that this is Sinwar.
The encounter with Sinwar was accidental, and he was not in the building with hostages. This is contrary to the opinion of the intelligence community, that he gave up senior Hamas officials who remained alive and surrounded themselves with the hostages. The hostages who were by Sinwar's side were the six hostages who were murdered in September.
Security officials said that because Sinwar was in an Israeli prison - Israel has Sinwar's DNA, so it is relatively easy to understand if he is a Hamas leader. The Al-Arabiya channel reported that a preliminary DNA test revealed that it was Sinwar.
