Footage shows final moments of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar weakly throwing piece of wood at Israeli drone just before he was k!lled (video)

An Israeli drone captured Hamas chief Yahya Sinwars last minutes alive. Sinwar, who was the mastermind of the Oct. 7 attack on Israelis, swung a piece of wood in a futile attempt to take out the device before he was k!lled, 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, October 17.  An injured Sinwar, who had his face covered and appeared to 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, k!lling Sinwar and two other Hamas terrorists who were traveling with him. After recovering the body and comparing it to the DNA samples the Israeli military retrieved from Sinwar during his time as a prisoner, officials confirmed the man k!lled in the strike was the terror chief.   IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari told reporters that Sinwar had likely been shot in his hand and taking refuge in the building when it was hit by the Israeli troops. Hagari said Sinwar was likely on the move trying to escape north amid the Israeli militarys advancement in Rafah, where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians had fled to earlier this year. Sinwars de@th has been hailed by US and Israeli officials as a major blow to Hamas with the potential of ending the war in Gaza and freeing the remaining 97 hostages who were abducted on Oct. 7. To the people of Gaza, I have a simple message, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement.  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 added. Many have gone on X to react to Sinwar's de@th.  Watch the video below.  Israel made the mistake of publishing footage of Yahya Sinwar's last moments.Wearing a kufiyyeh and severely injured, he threw a stick at the drone filming him a final act of defiance against the Zionist occupation.In his death, he became a legend. pic.twitter.com/bHEpPSY9TD Dan Cohen (@dancohen3000) October 17, 2024  The post Footage shows final moments of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar weakly throwing piece of wood at Israeli drone just before he was k!lled (video) appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
