IDF Eliminates Yahya Sinwar

The recent drone attack targeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's residence came just two days after Israeli forces eliminated Hamas Chief Yahya Sinwar in a targeted operation in Gaza. Sinwar, 62, was killed on Thursday, with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirming his death in a social media post that read, "Eliminated: Yahya Sinwar."

Footage Shows Final Moments Of Yahya Sinwar

The IDF later released drone footage capturing Sinwar’s final moments, showing him seated on a couch in a heavily damaged house, surrounded by rubble, and throwing an object at the drone before being eliminated.

Sinwar, believed to be the mastermind behind the deadly October 7 assault on Israel, was responsible for orchestrating the attack, which resulted in over 1,200 deaths, mostly civilians, including hostages.
