Video released by Israel purporting to show Sinwar’s final moments was met by his supporters as a rousing example of their leader’s battlefield bravery.

      That entire article is pure conjecture sourced from the IDF, an organization known to lie and dehumanize their opponents.

        Exactly, the puppet is obvious. I also first put on my full combat regalia when I’m supposedly trying to flee in a rush…

      On 16 October 2024, at approximately 10 am, IDF troops noticed a suspicious figure entering and exiting a building in their vicinity, after which an order was given to engage. At 3 pm an IDF drone detected three gunmen exiting the building, two covered in blankets and clearing the path for a third.

      The soldiers opened fire and the group scattered, two entering one building and the third, later proven to be Sinwar, entering another building and climbing to the second floor. An IDF soldier was severely injured in the firefight that ensued.

      A tank fired a shell at Sinwar’s location, and infantry soldiers began to sweep the building. Sinwar lobbed two grenades at them; one exploded and one did not.

      The troops then pulled back and sent in a drone which detected an injured figure with a covered face attempting to knock the drone out of the air with a stick. At the time, it was not known that the masked militant was Sinwar.

      Up against a 3 soldiers, a tank, and a drone

      A refugee born in an Apartheid, from parents who were ethnically cleansed, killed on the front lines by a militarily superior force engaged in genocide

      Definitely a stark analogy
