Army chief claims: Israel's 'settling the score' with Sinwar over October 7 attack

Israel's army chief Herzi Halevi on Thursday hailed troops' killing of Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar, vowing to keep fighting until hostages are released and "all" militants involved in the October 7 attack are captured.

"We are settling the score with Sinwar, who is responsible for that very difficult day a year ago," Lieutenant General Halevi said in a statement after visiting the site in Gaza where the Hamas chief was killed, adding: "We will not stop until we capture all those involved in the October 7 massacre and bring all the hostages home."
