Hamas Political Bureau Member Khalil al-Hayya confirmed the death of Yahya Sinwar in a statement. Stating that Sinwar’s death would strengthen Hamas even more and that Israel would regret killing him, al-Hayya said that the 101 people held hostage in Gaza would not be released until the Israeli attacks end and Israeli forces withdraw from the Palestinian territories. He also said that Hamas will continue to exist in all Palestinian lands with Jerusalem as its capital until a Palestinian state is established.
Seven newly identified victims of the 1995 Srebrenica genocide were buried at the Potocari Memorial Cemetery in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the 30th anniversary of the massacre. The genocide, recognized by international courts, claimed over 8,300 Muslim lives during the Bosnian War.
The ceremony drew leaders and officials from across the region and Europe, including Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş, Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković, and French and NATO representatives.
Bosnian official Denis Bećirović emphasized the years of propaganda and planning that led to the genocide, while French President Emmanuel Macron warned that denialism has no place in EU-aspiring nations. NATO’s Mark Rutte called it a lasting tragedy linking the Netherlands and Bosnia.
Sirens marked the remembrance across cities, and symbolic tributes—including a silent jump from Mostar Bridge and the release of lilies—honored the victims. The newly buried include victims aged between 17 and 67.
