โ€” โ—๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ/๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ CONFIRMED: Israel has taken custody of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar's body โ€“ he has indeed been killed, apparently by a tank shell, not an airstrike

@Middle_East_Spectator
It's 99% certain that Khaled Meshaal will become the new leader of Hamas.
โ€” ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ/๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ NEW: Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was found above ground, wearing a combat vest and with an AK by his side, together with two of his bodyguards

He was not hiding in a tunnel, nor was he hiding amongst civilians or Israeli hostages. He was besides his own fighters, right at the line of confrontation with the IDF.

After all these months, he was not killed by an airstrike or a targeted assassination; allegedly an Israeli soldier found his body by complete coincidence, after an IDF tank fired at Hamas fighters in the building.

โ€œI have well remembered this saying from Imam Aliโ€

โ€œThere are 2 days in a person's life: a day when death is not your destiny, and a day when death is your destiny. On the first day, no one can harm you, and on the second day, no one can save you."

โ€” ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ/๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ NEW: How did Yahya Sinwar die?

According to Israeli media, an IDF force spotted 5 Hamas fighters in Rafah while carrying out their 'duties'. Then, their tanks were ordered to open fire on these fighters.

All the fighters died, except one, who was Yahya Sinwar. So, the IDF fired a shoulder-launched explosive missile at the building with Sinwar, which also did not kill him.

After this, the IDF launched an FPV drone in Sinwar's direction, who stood up, gathered some stones and tried to hit the drone.

Then, eventually, after more than 15 minutes, it was an IDF sniper that shot Yahya Sinwar in the head while he was out of cover, engaging the drone. This explains the bullet wound seen in the images.

He fought until the very end.
