Sinwar, who masterminded the devastating October 7 attack on Israel - which led to the subsequent war in Gaza - is still hiding out in this small and cramped territory despite Israeli assassination attempts shortly after the war began.
Yehya Al-Sinwar has been appointed as the new leader of Hamas.
"The Islamic resistance movement Hamas announces the selection of Commander Yahya Sinwar as head of its agency political of the movement, successor to Martyr Commander Ismail Haniyeh, may Allah have mercy on him", it said in a short statement.
News of the appointment was greeted with a barrage of rockets from Gaza fired by militant groups still fighting Israeli troops in the besieged land, as Israel prepared for possible Iranian attacks following Haniyeh's assassination in Tehran.
"This appointment means that Israel needs to confront Sinwar about a solution for the war in Gaza", one writer said. and diplomacy "It's a message of toughness and resilience".
Sinwar, who has spent half of his adult life in Israeli prisons, is the most powerful surviving Hamas leader following Haniyeh's assassination, which pushed the region to the brink of a wider conflict after Iran said it would retaliate strongly.
