Glacier FarmMedia | MarketsFarm — The following is a glance at the news moving markets in Canada and globally.

 

  • Hamas has confirmed that its leader, Yahya Sinwar, was killed in southern Gaza in a recent Israeli attack. Analysts were unsure if Sinwar’s death would hasten the end of the year-long war in Gaza. Hamas maintained that it will not release hostages still being held until there is a ceasefire, and Israeli troops withdraw from the Palestinian enclave.

 

 

  • The United States Justice Department has filed charges against a former Indian intelligence officer on allegations he directed a foiled plot to murder a Sikh separatist leader, and American citizen, in New York City last year. The charges of “murder-for-hire and money laundering” against Vikash Yadav, a former officer in India’s Research and Analysis Wing, were filed in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.
