Sinwar's killing is a win for Israel — but many Palestinians are proud of his defiant last stand
Video released by Israel purporting to show Sinwar’s final moments was met by his supporters as a rousing example of their leader’s battlefield bravery.
Israel made a mistake releasing the footage. This entire time they have been claiming he was a coward hiding in a bunker, while he is on camera staring down the drone coming to confirm his death, wearing full battle regalia, defiantly throwing scrap metal at the drone while missing a hand. Regardless of your opinion of Sinwar, this is an objective optical failure that will play against Israel.
Israel thinks on video game logic, if you beat the big bad boss everyone gives up, but that's not what has happened. Sinwar is now more popular in death than he was in life among Palestinians, who actually believed him to be hiding, and not fighting on the frontlines as a 61 year old man.
Anyone who thinks this is the start of a ceasefire has seriously misjudged the material conditions of Palestine.
Right-wing extremists leading Israel know very well what to do to keep this conflict going. They’re making sure that any peace period will be temporary.
Yep, despite confirming with the drone that he was wounded and unarmed, they decided not to risk anything and just shot a tank shell at the building.
He was likely hiding underground and IDF happened to catch him while he was trying to flee. Ineffectively throwing a stick at a drone leading to his death is a great analog for his military strategy. Under his violent leadership nothing productive was accomplished, and a lot of people died.
On 16 October 2024, at approximately 10 am, IDF troops noticed a suspicious figure entering and exiting a building in their vicinity, after which an order was given to engage. At 3 pm an IDF drone detected three gunmen exiting the building, two covered in blankets and clearing the path for a third.
The soldiers opened fire and the group scattered, two entering one building and the third, later proven to be Sinwar, entering another building and climbing to the second floor. An IDF soldier was severely injured in the firefight that ensued.
A tank fired a shell at Sinwar's location, and infantry soldiers began to sweep the building. Sinwar lobbed two grenades at them; one exploded and one did not.
The troops then pulled back and sent in a drone which detected an injured figure with a covered face attempting to knock the drone out of the air with a stick. At the time, it was not known that the masked militant was Sinwar.
Up against a 3 soldiers, a tank, and a drone
A refugee born in an Apartheid, from parents who were ethnically cleansed, killed on the front lines by a militarily superior force engaged in genocide
Definitely a stark analogy
That entire article is pure conjecture sourced from the IDF, an organization known to lie and dehumanize their opponents.
This isn't a win for the Israelis who wanted a ceasefire or the hostages released. There will need to be a new leader to take over before negotiations can resume and chances are good they'll be even more radicalized against Israel.
And as their assassinations keep pushing the leadership lower and lower down the organizational structure there's less likelihood whoever is around by the time they negotiate will have the influence to actually command people to cease fighting.
This isn’t a win for the Israelis who wanted a ceasefire or the hostages released.
So it's a win for Netanyahu who wants neither of those things.
40000+ killed people for what? Where is the win? Now they are spreading false propaganda. Even Kamara speaks as a mouthpiece of Israel.
Axis of resistance will choose another leader.
Game is not over.
Genocide continues anyway.Sorry but you are an internet clown if you truly believe there's a genocide happening.
Removed for genocide denial.
To be 100% clear here, the precise definition of a genocide has five criteria, it only takes ONE to be declared a genocide.
Israel's actions in Gaza meet ALL FIVE requirements.

(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
"Proud of his defiant last stand"
Thats simply disgusting. There's nothing prideful about this monster of a human being. The only perception of him should be distain and erasure.
Imagine being bullied and humiliated every single day of your life… then somebody gives that bully a black eye. That person would be your hero.
