Live updates: Israel kills Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and vows to continue war in Gaza

Several Palestinians in Gaza told CNN they do not believe the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar will end the war.

Gazan Abu Mohammed told CNN he felt Sinwar was a “symbol of the Palestinian people.” He told CNN that he wanted Israel to stop the war, but he doubted this would happen. “You have to end the war now that the man has been killed,” he said.

“End the war for the people who suffer immensely from the daily killings and bombings, with dozens of victims, and they are all children, women and wounded. We are on the cusp of winter and people are sitting in tents sheltered only by a speck of cloud in the sky,” he added.

Abu Ahmad described Sinwar as “opposing the liberation of his homeland.”

Mahmoud Jneid: ‘Al-Sinwar was a target. What about us, the displaced? The closure of border crossings and the lack of food and drink for children make our situation worse than murder. I wish Israel would kill me. My brothers and family have died, and I wish for my own death so that I can find peace.”

Samad: “Sinwar was a target for Israel, and he was targeted and killed,” the 36-year-old told CNN. “He attacked Israel and committed crimes for which we paid the price. We paid with horrific tragedies, with the blood of our children, our money and our homes,” he said, adding: “We hope that the war will stop and come to an end.”

Mumen Khalili: The 22-year-old said: “Sinwar has died, but so many of our people have been killed, and there is now no excuse for Netanyahu to continue the war.”
