Katz said the Houthis would meet a similar fate as the other members of an Iranian-led alliance in the region, including Haniyeh. He also noted that Israel has killed other leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah, helped topple Syria's Bashar Assad and destroyed Iran's anti-aircraft systems.

During his imprisonment, Sinwar led the Supreme Leadership Committee of Hamas prisoners in Israeli jails, helping to manage confrontations with prison authorities during a series of hunger strikes.

The announcement followed the assassination of its politburo chief, Haniyeh, who was killed in his Tehran residence just hours after attending President Masoud Pezeshkian’s inauguration. Iran has accused Israel of the assassination and has pledged a strong retaliation.
