Drone video – The last minutes of Hamas terror chief Sinwar

Date:

On Thursday, Israel confirmed it had killed the mastermind of the October 7, 2023 terror attack, Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar, during an operation in Rafah in the Gaza Strip. A short time later, the Israeli military released drone footage (see video above) showing the terror godfather’s final moments.

According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the footage shows Sinwar “in the final moments of his elimination” during an army operation in the western Gaza Strip city of Rafah.

According to military spokesman Daniel Hagari, the Israeli army had been pursuing Sinwar for months. The IDF and the domestic intelligence agency Shin Bet had worked for months to gather information about Sinwar, who only became Hamas’s political leader in August, Hagari said.

Terror Godfather was cornered
Wednesday’s operation began when IDF forces discovered three Hamas terrorists fleeing from house to house in Rafah. Sinwar, who was injured and tried to hide, was eventually cornered and killed by IDF forces. He was armed and had 40,000 shekels (the equivalent of almost 10,000 euros) with him.

“Yahya Sinwar hid in the area surrounded by our troops for a long time. We didn’t know he was there, but we continued to act decisively. “Last night, emergency services identified three terrorists who fled from house to house,” Hagari reported. IDF forces attacked the trio and a firefight ensued.

Sinwar eventually fled into a building alone. “Our troops searched with a drone,” army spokesman Hagari said. The Hamas leader, who was wounded in one hand by the shots, is seen in the recording wearing a mask and sitting in an armchair, throwing a stick at the drone in his final moments. Then the video stops.

Is Hamas now taking revenge on the hostages?
The fate of the approximately one hundred hostages still in the hands of Hamas is in fact completely uncertain. Efforts to free them are now likely to become even more difficult. Relatives of those kidnapped fear that Hamas fighters will take revenge and kill hostages.
