Trudeau says death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar 'ends a reign of terror'

OTTAWA -

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Israel's killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in the Gaza Strip "ends a reign of terror."

The Israeli military declared Thursday that it had killed Sinwar during a Wednesday battle and confirmed his death with a DNA test.

Sinwar was one of the chief architects of the attack on Israel last October that prompted an Israeli ground invasion, and a conflict that has drawn in countries across the Middle East.

Trudeau called Sinwar a "brutal leader" of a group Canada deems a terrorist organization who "sought to destroy Israel and launched senseless, devastating terror attacks on civilians across the region."

The prime minister also repeated Canada's call for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Earlier, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris said Sinwar's death "gives us an opportunity to finally end the war in Gaza."
