An exchange is the only way to return Sinwar’s remains to Gaza.
Previously, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) officially confirmed that Sinwar was killed in the Gaza Strip on October 16. According to US President Joe Biden, US intelligence played an important role in this.
According to Israeli intelligence, Hamas currently holds 101 hostages in captivity, including the dead. 154 people were returned from captivity, including the dead.
