But his death at the hands of Israeli forces in Gaza on Wednesday has raised anxieties for families of the 101 hostages still held by Hamas.

Meanwhile, few Palestinians believed Sinwar's killing would bring an end to the devastating year-old war in Gaza.

Israel's military offensive in Gaza has killed at least 42,500 Palestinians, the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says. It followed Hamas's attack on Israeli communities on 7 October last year, which killed about 1,200 people and saw the group take 251 hostages.
