US House Speaker Mike Johnson praised Israel for eliminating Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, stating that justice has been served. Sinwar was killed just over two months after Israel assassinated his predecessor.
“Justice has once again been served by the brave men and women of the Israeli military. Yahya Sinwar, the vile, disgusting person who orchestrated the October 7th massacre, is dead,” Johnson said.
On October 7, 2023, Israel faced a rocket attack and militant infiltration from Hamas, resulting in a significant death toll. In response, Israel launched Operation Iron Swords, leading to ongoing conflict and casualties.
