This is the haunting moment visibly bloodied Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar feebly throws a stick to defend himself against an IDF drone just seconds before he was assassinated by Israel i forces in Gaza.
Sinwar can be seen looking directly at the drone, peaking only through the small gap in the wrapping encasing his face, with his right hand wounded by bulletsIDF spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, confirmed the Hamas leader had died and released the footage hours after the assassination took place, The Jerusalem Post reports.
Hagari added: 'Sinwar was responsible for the most brutal attack against Israel in our history when terrorists from Gaza invaded Israel, massacred Israelis in their homes, raped our women, burned entire families alive and took over 250 men, women and children, babies, hostage to Gaza. Troops reported identifying a group of terrorists in a building at an undisclosed location in Gaza. After an exchange of fire, a tank shell was said to have hit the structure and collapsed it.
Sinwar had been a prime target for Israeli forces since October 7, but Israel had allegedly been hesitant to make an assassination attempt amid reports he was surrounded by Israeli hostages and was carrying a bag packed with explosives. British defence secretary John Healey said ahead of the announcement of Sinwar's death: 'I for one, will not mourn the death of a terror leader like Sinwar - someone who was responsible for the terror attack on October 7.'
Sinwar had remained elusive throughout the year-long war in Gaza, hiding in the Hamas tunnel network beneath the Strip.
