What Sinwar's death means for Israel and the war in Gaza | DW News

Yahya Sinwar, one of the chief architects of Hamas' attack on Israel last year and the most wanted man by Israel's military, was killed in an Israeli operation in Gaza, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Thursday. According to the IDF, Sinwar was trying to flee from house to house in Rafah when they targeted him. Sinwar's body was brought to the centre for forensic medicine in Tel Aviv, where his identity was confirmed.

Whole "international community" was so busy telling Israel to not enter Rafah. And guess where the troglodyte was hiding all along... 😂

[sisa]

Madam you lied. Sinwar was hiding from house to house. He was not in anyway seen anywhere fighting. He was a coward. A big coward.

[DeleLang]

Why does the woman romanticizes sinwar fighting with his men on the field? He was scavenging not fighting

[richardwalters]

The Israelis HAVE OFFERED long-term political solutions, ma’am ! That’s kind of a lame statement. 05:25 “Until Israel realizes …”. How about, “until we realize that reasonable, generous political offered were made, but israel’s enemies hate them sooo much, that they’re refused these offers … and THEY would RATHER have war.” Why do these supposed expert analysts not understand these simple historic observations ?

[FirstyPaul]

I’m surprised the UN has not called an emergency security council meeting to condemn the killing of Yayah Sinwah.

[shaeleable]

Again DW spending more time on a terrorist than on the hostages still in captivity.

Sinwar looked at the drone and knew it's time to meet the 72 virgins that he avoided for some time

[iXpress]

She seems to have a liking for Sinwar 😂

[roym]

Romanticising Sinwar as Hero instead of condemming him for all the murderous and medieval type butchery that he did towards Israeli s and Palestinian alike. The west need to stop P comparing him to Netanyahu this is insane !

[hellohello]

The way Israel is targeting leaders not only shows they have a extremely high ability to wage war but it also plays on the hearts and minds of the enemy in regards to letting oppsition know that the higher rank you are doesnt mean personal safety also making the enemy not trust their own people. The psychological impact this sort of targeting has will serve Israel very well.

[hambaallah-mnem]

"not hiding in the tunnel". really??

[daniellimo]

Am trying to understand this, every time Hezbollah is connered they call for a ceasefire and then stockpile more weapons. Then Israel is somehow told to find a way to negotiate and sing Kumbaya with Hamas. Am I the crazy one?

[Balagancia]

The lady is telling her own Story.. The SinWar was hiding all the time

[ancestralmemories]

the PALESTINIANS need to realize there needs to be a non-violent long term political plan for the future. NOT the Israelis. They did not start this war, Barbara Slavin.

[drsuzuki]

“Significance“?
BBC has closed down for a day of mourning.

[KinkJumpYpou-kpvm]

Israel went for leaders. Maybe Ukraine could learn something from Israel

[bryanolaguer]

My deepest condolences to you DW news, Be strong for your loss.

[MonicaTimotheo]

SHALOM JERUSALEM SHALOM ISRAEL FOREVER AMEN

[drsuzuki]

Poor Sinwar had his victim card revoked! 😂

[jenifferperlman]

The analysis from the first interviewee was very poor. She clearly expressed her perspective on the war.
