Israeli planes on Saturday dropped leaflets over southern Gaza showing a picture of dead Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar. The pamphlets also contained a message from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying: "Hamas will no longer rule Gaza." Photos of the leaflets surfaced on social media. This comes after Israeli military strikes killed at least 35 people across the Strip, Palestinian health officials said.
“Whoever drops the weapon and hands over the hostages will be allowed to leave and live in peace," the leaflet, written in Arabic, read, according to locals. The wordings echoed a statement by Netanyahu after Sinwar's death.

Earlier this week, the IDF released Sinwar's final video before he was killed. The Hamas leader could be seen wounded and cornered as he sat in a Palestinian home. He was hurling a stick at an Israeli drone filming him.
