Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris said Israel’s killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar gives “us the opportunity to finally end the war in Gaza.”

Israel Defense Forces said Sinwar, a U.S.-designated terrorist, was killed during an operation in southern Gaza Thursday morning. Images show Sinwar’s body surrounded by IDF troops after an apparent tank attack on the building he and two others were in.

Commenting on the news at a press conference in Wisconsin, the vice president said “justice has been served.”
