San Francisco, Calif. - House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul issued the following statement after Yahya Sinwar - the architect of the brutal massacre that killed 1,200 people in Israel on October 7 - was eliminated by the IDF in a military operation in Gaza.

"Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was a brutal terrorist who masterminded the October 7 massacre and all of the death and destruction that followed. I congratulate Israel for having the courage to stand against his evil and for eliminating this violent madman-achieving a small measure of justice for his many, many victims, including dozens of American citizens."
