According to reports citing a doctor who attended his autopsy, Hamas commander Yahya Sinwar was shot in the head and suffered significant bleeding from a shattered forearm before his demise. According to the doctor, Sinwar had many significant injuries before his death from a gunshot wound to the head.


A dna test was used to identify the 61-year-old Hamas official, and his finger was cut off and submitted for analysis. The New York Times was informed by Dr. Chen Kugel, the director of Israel's national forensic institution, who conducted the autopsy, that Sinwar died from a gunshot wound to the head. The physician observed that he was bleeding from a shattered forearm that had been struck by shrapnel, most likely from a small missile or tank round.


The Hamas commander attempted to halt the bleeding with an electrical line, but it was an ineffective solution. It wasn't powerful enough," the physician was cited as stating.
 
Sinwar's autopsy, according to Dr. Kugel, took place 24 to 36 hours after his passing. Once finished, the body was turned over to the Israeli military, who could have relocated it to a secret location.
 
A dna test was used to authenticate Sinwar's identity. According to the doctor, the Israeli army severed his finger and sent it for examination, as CNN reported.

What is the significance of israel killing Yahya Sinwar?
This would be a severe blow for Hamas, which has suffered greatly at the hands of the Israeli military machine, and may even trigger an existential crisis.
 
It also offers a slim chance to put a stop to hostilities in Palestine. "Wipe Hamas off the Earth" has been Israel's casus belli from the start. Sinwar's passing is a significant turning point toward this fairly nebulous goal. After the assassinations of Hasan Nasrallah, the head of Hezbollah, in september and Haniyeh in July, this is arguably the most well-known enemy leader to be killed by Israel.

It is unclear how the Palestinians and Hamas would respond to this setback, but for the US and other supporters of israel, it represents a chance to defuse tensions in israel and give the Zionist state a reprieve from a conflict that has claimed thousands of lives, cost billions of dollars, and plunged the world into a protracted moral and political crisis.
 
According to a CNN article, "Senior [US] administration officials had hung onto hope that Sinwar might one day be taken out — opening doors in the talks that simply would not be available otherwise" because progress toward a ceasefire-for-hostages deal to pause the war had been obstinately stuck for months.
