      Israeli PM confirms Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar killed by Israeli troops in Gaza

      2024-10-18 02:17 Last Updated At:15:37

      Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed on Thursday that Hamas' top leader, Yahya Sinwar, was killed by Israeli forces in Gaza on Wednesday.

      Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Israel Security Agency (ISA) also announced the death of Sinwar earlier on Thursday.

      In a joint statement, the IDF and the ISA said Sinwar was killed by IDF soldiers in an operation in the southern Gaza Strip.

      Hamas has not confirmed Sinwar's death.

      Sinwar was elected as Hamas' political bureau chief on August 6, replacing Ismail Haniyeh, who was assassinated in Tehran, Iran in July.

      Kenya partners with Energy China for landmark river restoration, housing project

      The Nairobi River Basin Rehabilitation and Affordable Housing Project, spearheaded by Energy China, was launched on Monday in Kenya's capital, Nairobi.

      Kenyan President William Ruto led Monday's groundbreaking ceremony, joined by senior government officials, Energy China executives, and environmental advocates, who expressed hopes for strengthened Kenya-China cooperation and the ecological restoration of the Nairobi River, which meanders through the heart of Nairobi.

      The project is the country's first major ecological and wellbeing project, which will create new jobs for young people, improve public health, and enhance the capital's environmental sustainability, said Ruto during the ceremony.

      The Nairobi River originates from the northwestern outskirts of the Kenyan capital, flowing through southeastern residential areas, but has long suffered from severe pollution and flooding during the rainy season.

      In February, the Kenyan government signed a contract with China Energy Engineering Group Guangxi Electric Power Design Institute to implement the project's first phase, which aims to address sewage treatment, river dredging, urban landscape construction, as well as an affordable housing project to resettle residents in flood-vulnerable areas.

      "According to the plan, the river course project will be finished by April 2027, which will shield local residents from floods, and present them with an ecology park, and well-designed views and community centers," said Yang Ming, deputy chief engineer of the Guangxi Electric Power Design Institute.
