Israel confirms killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar

The Hamas leader was killed by Israeli troops in Gaza.

Yahya Sinwar, who topped Israel's most-wanted list, was a key figure believed to have been behind the 7 October attacks. The Israeli Defence Force tells us how the operation was carried out.

Also in the programme: With new questions about the likelihood of a hostage deal, we speak to one man whose brother-in-law is still being held captive; and a Palestinian journalist tells us about the mood in Gaza after Sinwar's killing.
