  1. The pictures I’ve seen look like him – at least what’s left of his head does.

    Here’s hoping

  2. The beginning of the end of operations in Gaza? If this is true, the only objective left is to bring back the hostages dead or alive.

  3. Yet another example of how strong Israel’s intelligence gathering is currently, assuming Sinwar wasn’t caught up in a random airstrike. Follows on from pager and walkie-talkie-gate in Lebanon, the targeted killing of Nasrallah and senior IRGC heads across Syria, Iran and Lebanon in the last few months.

    A symbolic killing that will embarrass Iran once again. In the space of a few weeks they’ve suffered the loss of two hugely influential figureheads in Nasrallah and now Sinwar, without so much as landing a return punch on Israel that would harm their long-term ability to wage war against Hezbollah and Hamas.

  4. Sinwar is dead.
    DNA tests will take a few hours, but the images and all other indications seem clear.

    The big question is – who replaces him?

  5. Small detail, not an airstrike. Reports are coming out on national Israeli television that a standard combat unit was operating in the area, spotted the terrorists entering a structure. A tank fired on the structure which was followed by more firepower and then soldiers moving in, at which point his (probable) body was discovered and all this started.

  6. So that means they can withdraw and agree to a ceasefire right? And stop blowing up toddlers and burning people alive right?
