Hamas Leader Yahya Sinwar Killed by IDF Forces in Rafah
(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed by IDF forces on Wednesday in Rafah in Gaza. Sinwar was killed after the building he was in collapsed on top of him after a tank shell and a Matador missile were fired at the building. IDF forces, using a drone, identified three figures attempting to move from house to house. Two figures were covered with blankets, walking ahead of Sinwar to clear the way. When the IDF opened fire, two terrorists fled into one building, and Sinwar into another. Sinwar moved to the second floor of the building, and the IDF responded with tank fire. As infantry soldiers began to sweep the building, two grenades were thrown at them. The troops pulled back and sent a drone, which detected an injured figure, face covered, who attempted to knock the drone out of the air with a stick. The next day troops swept the building and discovered a body with recognizable features. During the encounter, a soldier was severely injured by gunfire from the two other terrorists.
