New details emerge of Sinwar’s final moments
New details emerge of Sinwar’s final moments
At 10:00 a.m. yesterday, a soldier from the 450th Battalion of the Bislamach Brigade noticed a suspicious figure going in and out of a building in Rafah’s Tel Sultan neighborhood, The Times of Israel has learned. He informed the battalion commander, who ordered forces to open fire on the building.
The IDF opened fire again, injuring the soldiers. Two went into one building, and a third — who would turn out to be Sinwar — went alone into a separate structure. IDF tanks and other forces opened fire on both buildings, ToI has learned. Sinwar then moved up to the second floor. A tank fired another shell at the building, and an infantry platoon moved up to search.
Sinwar threw two grenades, one of which exploded. The soldiers withdrew, and a drone flew in to search the room. It found a man with his arm injured and his face covered — Sinwar — who threw a wooden stick at the drone. Another tank shell was fired at the man.
Meanwhile, Hebrew media has just aired a recording of one of the soldiers involved in the killing of Sinwar. He says that the IDF struck the building that Sinwar was in with a missile and then sent a drone in to confirm that he had been killed.
The Shin Bet took DNA and fingerprints in order to verify his identity. No hostages were with Sinwar at the time.
You're viewing a single thread.
But israel told me he was hiding 100 meters underground in a hospital courtyard behind all the hostages
Why not post an article from a source that breaks down the response in Israeli media and puts a finer point on this? I just don't understand the nude links to paywalled/insanely evil MSM stuff
You are right about the link I will change it for an archive link.
I haven't seen good articles from non-MSM sources yet but they will likely use this article as a source. This is an israeli source is confirming Sinwar was involved in ground operations so they are destroying their own narrative.
Israel is machine gun shooting itself in the foot by admiting Sinwar was fighting on the front lines.
I generally just throw the link in the submissikn dialogue, use that to link to various archives, and drop the original link in the description. I was kind of rude here considering that everyone here has adblock and is likely to use archives themselves haha
People's Dispatch did a good breakdown of the Israeli media flip flopping over Sinwar's demise
