Ever since the October 7th attack last year, the Israelis have picked off Hamass and Hezbollah leadership one by one. News dropped this morning that they got another one.
This time they got Yahya Ibrahim Hassan Sinwar, the Hamas leader in Gaza. Sinwar was the mastermind behind the 10/7 attack and the highest ranking Hamass leader in Gaza.
Early indications point to the action that saw Sinwar’s brain exposed to the atmosphere was not a special operation but rather a routine patrol in the Tal al Sultan area of Gaza, just north of Rafah. It appears the unit that was in contact did not realize they were engaging Sinwar. They spotted a group of terrorists moving between buildings and opened fire.
It’s being reported that a new recruit is the one who actually killed Sinwar. He’ll never pay for a drink again in his life.
Sinwar was tried and convicted of the abduction and killing of two Israeli soldiers and four Palestinians he considered to be collaborators in 1989. He was sentenced to four life sentences by Israel but was released after serving only 22 years as part of a hostage deal that saw IDF trooper Gilad Shalit released. While in prison, Sinwar developed a brain tumor that would have killed him, but Israeli doctors removed it. Proving once again that no good deed goes unpunished.
And another one gone, and another one gone, Another one bites the dust
Hey, I’m gonna get you too, Another one bites the dust. . .
