An Assault Rifle, an UNRWA Passport, and $11K in Cash: What Sinwar's Possessions Say About His Pre-Death Movements
Free Beacon ^ | October 18, 2024 | Adam Kredo

When Israeli forces examined Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar's body after killing him in a surprise ground operation on Thursday, they discovered several curious items, including grenades, an assault rifle, nearly $11,000 in cash, and a passport belonging to an employee of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency.

Those items, experts told the Washington Free Beacon, suggest Sinwar may have been attempting to flee the embattled Gaza Strip when Israeli forces stumbled upon him inside a house in the territory's Rafah neighborhood, Hamas's stronghold along the border with Egypt...

The presence of an UNRWA passport in Sinwar's belongings is another blow to the humanitarian aid agency's already ailing image. The United States and other Western countries froze aid to UNRWA after reports revealed that several of the agency's employees had participated in Hamas's Oct. 7 terror massacre. Since that time, Hamas has repeatedly been caught siphoning off aid and continuing to use UNRWA facilities for safe haven and even operational planning.

"Having access to a humanitarian passport—even if expired in 2017—could possibly provide access to humanitarian corridors to evacuate a crisis zone," said Riza Kumar, a research analyst with the Counter Extremism Project, a nonprofit policy group. "Given that only two others died alongside Sinwar, his small entourage suggests he was attempting to make moves that wouldn't be so easily detected."

He wanted to pose as an UNRWA not hard, given their record...

It says that the United Nations employs mass murderers, or perhaps I’m missing something.

He’d have been welcomed into the UN to address the General Assembly.

Uh, he went to a gun show? Where else would he get an “assault rifle”?

Sounds like fodder for a parody version of Things You Left Behind by The Nails

And while researching this I clicked through to 88 Lines About 44 Women. Two lines were "Kamala, who couldn't sing,/ Kept the beat and kept it strong”. I've probably listened to that song a thousand times but never picked up on that name.

Are Mentos included in the humanitarian aid packages we airdropped?

Gandhi’s possessions at time of his death.
One commenter said did he need the luxury of those two pairs of shoes. Eating bowl, pocket watch, his glasses, sandals....

Recent sale of some items went for $1.8 million.

His wireless earbuds were playing “I’m gonna live, live, live until I die” by Sammy Davis, Jr.

Didn’t make it to the next playlist song: Finale, Before the Music Ends sung by Frank Sinatra on the 3rd album of his 1980 set Trilogy: Past, Present, Future.

In real life, Saddam Hussein used to obsessively set up his lovemaking with his mistress to have him first take Viagra and then listen only to Frank Sinatra’s Strangers in the Night song played repeatedly. Every time.
Two historians wrote that.
