editorjeremy bowen injerusalem. jeremy, is there any sense that the death of sinwar is likely to change the direction of the war? i think there is potentially an opportunity there because he was a very dominant figure on the hamas side and now he is gone so there is more flexibility but it's only an opportunity of the parties concerned want to take it. his number two, based in doha in qatar, i went to interview him a couple of weeks ago, he did a speech today and he said very defiantly that the hostages won't return until the aggression on our people in gaza is stopped and full withdrawal from our people in gaza is stopped and full withdrawalfrom it our people in gaza is stopped and full withdrawal from it and our people in gaza is stopped and full withdrawalfrom it and release our heroes, the prisoners from the occupation jails. our heroes, the prisoners from the occupationjails. in his speech our heroes, the prisoners from the occupation jails. in his speech that he made last night, prime minister

netanyahu said that if hamas wanted to give up hostages, then the people who handed them in would be allowed to leave the gaza strip, they would be allowed to live. that would simply be it. so as you can see, there is seemingly anyway a great big gulf between the two macro sides as big as ever. 0n the military side too, netanyahu and the israelis are pushing hard in gaza. they sent another big unit of mechanised infantry, tanks, armoured personnel carriers and things like that into northern gaza. this morning they released pictures of the big build up released pictures of the big build up of people on the border there of military units. and don't forget, the americans have said to them that they need in fact not to double down on the military operation, what they need to do is to allow in more humanitarian aid and humanitarian access, and that is something they

are not doing. so while there could be a crossroads now that allows people to get off, if you like, the highway of war, i'm not sure either side want to take it.— side want to take it. thank you, jerem . what do we know about how israel managed to kill the hamas leader inside gaza, and what his final moments tell us about hamas? our analysis editor ros atkins, along with our gaza correspondent rushdi abualouf, has been looking at the evidence. this is a video filmed by an israeli drone, as it enters the building where hamas leader yahya sinwar was killed on wednesday. he was the key figure behind the 7th of october attacks. and at bbc verify we've confirmed the location this building, in rafah in southern gaza, and we've studied satellite imagery of the area. as the drone enters the first floor room, we see a man sitting in an arm chair. he's moving and appears wounded. he waves an object and then throws it — apparently at the drone.

afterthis, israeli forces killed him. according to israel, there were exchanges of fire and then tanks aimed at the buildings. but it wasn't until the soldiers returned on thursday that they realised that the face of one of the men they'd killed strongly resemble that of the leader of hamas. in order to confirm this they sent for dna testing, and on thursday it was confirmed — it was him. hamas has confirmed his death as well. and for some it came as a surprise that he appeared alone, as rushdi abualouf explains. i that he appeared alone, as rushdi abualouf explains.— that he appeared alone, as rushdi abualouf explains. i met him. he was rarely giving — abualouf explains. i met him. he was rarely giving an _ abualouf explains. i met him. he was rarely giving an interview _ abualouf explains. i met him. he was rarely giving an interview to _ rarely giving an interview to foreign media, he was always surrounded with very tight security arrangement around him. so
