From the New York Post: An Israeli drone captured Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar’s last minutes alive — as the Oct. 7 mastermind swung a piece of wood in a futile attempt to take out the device before he was killed, officials said.
Shocking footage shows the moment a drone is deployed to check a building in Rafah that a group of IDF soldiers hit on Thursday.
An injured Sinwar, who had his face covered and appeared be missing his right hand, could be seen sitting alone on a coach in the destroyed building, with the IDF soldiers unaware that they were seeing the very man they had been hunting for since he ordered the Oct. 7, 2023 terrorist attack on the Jewish state.
When Sinwar finally notices the drone hovering just a few feet from him, he struggles, using his left hand, to fling an object at the UAV in a last ditch effort to keep his whereabouts hidden.
The soldiers then ordered a second strike on the building, killing Sinwar and two other Hamas terrorists who were traveling with him.
The IDF soldiers reportedly took the body back to Israel. After confirming the body’s identity through both dental records and DNA, the IDF announced, “Eliminated: Yahya Sinwar.”
Later on Thursday, IDF Spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani released a video on social media of Sinwar’s final act against Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video statement, and announced, “Yahya Sinwar is dead. He was killed in Rafah by the brave soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces. While this is not the end of the war in Gaza, it’s the beginning of the end.”
“To the people of Gaza, I have a simple message. This war can end tomorrow. It can end if Hamas lays down its arms and returns our hostages…. Israel will guarantee the safety of all those who return our hostages,” Netanyahu said.
“But to those who harm our hostages, I have another message: Israel will hunt you down and bring you to justice,” he declared.

For us to be slaughtered without making a noise?”pic.twitter.com/90sHyPcEN0
