No word on the hostages yet, although the IDF didn’t find any at the site yet:

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar may have been killed in a strike in Gaza, the IDF announced on Thursday.

“Initial report – During IDF operations in the Gaza Strip, three terrorists were eliminated. The IDF and ISA are checking the possibility that one of the terrorists was Yahya Sinwar. At this stage, the identity of the terrorists cannot be confirmed,” the IDF said.

“In the building where the terrorists were eliminated, there were no signs of the presence of hostages in the area. The forces that are operating in the area are continuing to operate with the required caution.”

CNN and ABC also picked up on this news, which could spell the end of organized military resistance in Gaza. 

Hudson Institute expert Mike Doran got access to the pictures of the body that troops initially identified as Sinwar. It certainly looks like the Hamas leader, although older and more emaciated than in previous public appearances:

Sinwar got extensive medical care while imprisoned in Israel for several years. They certainly have his DNA for comparison; indeed, they must have prepared for this moment since Sinwar launched the October 7 massacres.
