Israel is investigating whether Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar has been killed after an operation in the Gaza Strip, with official confirmation expected in the coming hours.
Senior Israeli officials said security sources consider there to be a ‘high probability’ that Sinwar was eliminated, Israeli news outlet N12 reports.
Apparently it has now been confirmed. Israel really is taking out the trash. I wonder if these vile people – those that are still alive – are regretting their actions last October. Did it even occur to them that they would all be assassinated? Or were they not bothered? With Hamas and Hezbollah being decapitated, at a remarkable pace, I find myself wondering. Usually with these scumbags, when they talk of martyrs, they usually mean other people being martyred, rather than getting killed themselves. Given that Sinwar went into hiding, I guess they aren’t quite so ready to walk the walk when it comes to being blown to bits. That the IDF got their man is good news though.
I rather think of it as pest control.
Now for the Godfathers in their five star hotels.
Is this another one who’ll receive a full page obituary in the Graun? Probably. They really are far-left scum at the Graun.
Anyone who has the slightest sympathy for the Palestinians might want to re-consider their opinion after reading this post.

They really are some of the vilest people on the planet. As far as I am aware, Hamas actually has a democratic mandate. Wouldn’t you like to be a fly on the wall at the meeting where Hamas are electing their next leader?
And this one, for a bit of historical context.

It’s not about Zionism, or “settlers”, or “colonialism”. It’s about conquest.
Oh dear, how sad. Violent murderer gets what was coming to them. Only The Graudian could concoct some sympathetic angle on this (or indeed, the suffering brought upon the people in Gaza by their own support of Hamas).
Given that Israel has a history of going after terrorists who commit large scale atrocities (Munich being the prime example), I find it somewhat unbelievable that Sinwar and his ilk didn’t have it in their minds that they would be at the top of the wanted list after the October 7th atrocity. I can only assume that arrogance and hubris played their part. Still, the world, particularly Israel, is a safer place tonight.
Arrogance, hubris and the assumption that the presence of the UN (and a vociferous contingent of useful idiots in the media and governments of Western democracies) would seriously restrict Israel’s ability to hunt them down.
Not to mention that Hamas has infiltrated the UNWRA – some members of which have been identified as having taken part in the October 7th massacre. Another reason to close down the UN.
What’s interesting is that Israel’s neighbours are saying nothing. No loud condemnation from the likes of Egypt, Jordan or Saudi Arabia. While they aren’t openly cheering Israel on, they appear to be content for the IDF to take out the trash. The idea that there is solidarity in the Muslim world is a myth.
When the raids on Iran come, hopefully they’ll get Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
