Anders Persson, political scientist at Linnaeus University and Israel expert, says that there is every reason to take the reports that Israel has control over the information that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has been killed seriously.
Israel has been right almost every time previously when it has come out with this type of information, says Anders Persson.
If it turns out that Yahya Sinwar has been killed, it would be a "huge scalp" for Israel, according to Persson the biggest one so far during the war.
Despite everything, Sinwar is number one on Israel's death list.
Sinwar's death could mean an opportunity for Israel to close the conflict.
It gives Israel a possible victory narrative so that one could more easily declare the war over, says Persson.
