Israeli military investigating whether top Hamas leader Sinwar was killed in Gaza
Jerusalem, Oct 17: The Israeli military says it is looking into whether Hamas' top leader Yahya Sinwar was killed in a military operation in Gaza.
The military said in a statement Thursday that three Hamas leaders were killed during operations in Gaza, without elaborating. It said the identities of the three were so far not confirmed, but it was “checking the possibility” that one of the three was Sinwar.
Sinwar was one of the chief architects of Hamas' attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. He was chosen as the group's top leader following the assassination of Ismael Haniyeh in July in an apparent Israeli strike in the Iranian capital Tehran.

UP: Maid arrested for mixing urine in dough
Ghaziabad (UP), Oct 17: A maid working for a real estate businessman for eight years has been arrested for allegedly mixing urine in the dough used to make rotis, police said.
The maid, identified as Reena (32) from Shanti Nagar Colony here, was caught on camera committing the alleged act, police said.
The incident came to light when Rupam, house owner Nitin Gautam's wife, noticed her family members experiencing liver problems. Suspecting a foul play, she began monitoring the maid's activities in the kitchen. Gautam secretly recorded a video using his mobile phone, which captured the maid allegedly mixing urine in the flour.
Based on the complaint and evidence filed by the family, police lodged an FIR regarding the matter on Monday and arrested Reena on Tuesday.
"During interrogation, the maid initially denied the allegations. However, upon being confronted with the video, she confessed to her actions. The maid claimed she was motivated by revenge after being frequently scolded by her employer for minor mistakes," said ACP Wave City Lipi Nagaich.
Reena has been booked under Section 272 (malignant act likely to spread infection of disease dangerous to life) of the BNS, said the officer.
Similar incidents of human waste, including urine and spit, being added to food items have been reported from several places in the state.
In wake of such incidents, the Uttar Pradesh government on Tuesday announced it will soon introduce a new law against sellers who "hide their identity" and mix human waste or inedible material in food items and beverages.
