Yahya Sinwar, who headed Hamas in the Gaza Strip during Hamas' attack on Israel, is being sought by Israel as speculation about his whereabouts abounds (Britannica - Yahya Sinwar, NBC News, i24). Israel acknowledging that a friendly country's forces (military or civilian) have captured Sinwar would count, and a "country that recognizes Israel" is one that diplomatically recognizes Israel at the time of capture. Extradition from a country that does not diplomatically recognize Israel to either Israel or a country that does recognize Israel would count upon Sinwar being in the actual custody of the receiving country. A public announcement or acknowledgment that Sinwar is actually dead would count.
