Watch Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar’s final moments captured by IDF drone

Raw footage of Israeli military drones attacking and apparently killing Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was uploaded by the IDF to its official YouTube account on Thursday, which the IDF said shows the final moments of the terrorist group’s leader.

The 48-second clip shows a man in a chair, with a note on screen stating that he is Yahya Sinwar. He appears to be alive throughout the video, with the clip ending with an object being thrown at the drone. You can watch the embedded video below.

Sinwar, Hamas’s top commander in Gaza, was one of three people killed during an IDF operation in Gaza this week, according to an IDF statement.

The Israeli military said there were “no signs of the presence of hostages in the area.” The infantry unit in Rafah encountered Sinwar and two others, killing them without knowing that he was the leader of Hamas, according to the IDF.

President Joe Biden said Sinwar’s assassination was “a good day for Israel, for the United States and for the world,” comparing the Gaza leader’s death to the 2011 assassination of Osama bin Laden.

“Early this morning, Israeli authorities informed my national security team that a mission they conducted in Gaza likely killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar,” Biden said in an official White House statement released Thursday .

“DNA tests have now confirmed that Sinwar is dead. This is a good day for Israel, for the United States and for the world,” the president added. “For my Israeli friends, this is undoubtedly a day of relief and remembrance, similar to the scenes seen across the United States after President Obama ordered the raid to kill Osama bin Laden in 2011.”

“As leader of the Hamas terrorist group, Sinwar was responsible for the deaths of thousands of Israelis, Palestinians, Americans and citizens of more than 30 countries,” Biden added, reflecting on those who were murdered in the Gaza Strip since the arrival of Hamas. initial attack on October 7. “He was the mastermind of the October 7 massacres, rapes and kidnappings. It was on his orders that Hamas terrorists invaded Israel to intentionally – and with indescribable savagery – kill and massacre civilians, a Holocaust survivor, children in front of their parents, and parents in front of their children.

Biden continued: “More than 1,200 people were killed that day, the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust, including 46 Americans. More than 250 people were taken hostage and 101 are still missing. This number includes seven Americans, four of whom are believed to be still alive and detained by Hamas terrorists. Sinwar is the man most responsible for this, and much of what followed.
