What does Sinwar’s death mean for Hamas? Hamas leader Yehya Sinwar was killed by Israeli troops on Thursday, becoming the second Hamas leader killed by Israel in a few months — Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in July in Tehran. And while Sinwar’s death will not bring about the end of Hamas, it would take the group 10 years to recover from its prolonged war with Israel, military expert Samir Farag told Salaat El Tahrir (watch, runtime: 1:22).

AND- Israel’s attacks on Lebanon unlikely to stop before November: Farag doesn’t expect Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop the attacks on southern Lebanon before the US presidential elections on 5 November (watch, runtime: 3:17).

ALSO- No connection between fuel price hikes and IMF review delay: The government’s decision to raise fuel prices has no connection to the recently delayed IMF review, cabinet spokesperson Mohamed El Homsani told Ala Mas’ouleety’s Ahmed Moussa (watch, runtime: 3:13). The delayed meetings between government officials and fund officials are down to the IMF’s own scheduling conflicts, El Homsani said, adding that he expects the meetings to take place next month.

Fuel price hike will not impact subsidized bread: The government will cover the additional diesel costs for subsidized bread — around 30 EGP per sack of flour — to ensure that the price remains unchanged, Abdullah Ghorab, chief of the bakeries division of the General Federation of Chambers of Commerce told Moussa (watch, runtime: 4:29). The price of non-subsidized bread will go up in tandem with the additional costs, he said, adding that the rise is expected to be modest. A meeting will be held with bread producers within the next two days to determine the exact increase and announce the new prices, he added.
