Six Israeli hostages, who were murdered in a tunnel by Hamas terrorists in August, were likely used as human shields to protect the recently killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, according to a Channel 12 report on Sunday. The hostages, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Ori Danino, Eden Yerushalmi, Almog Sarusi, Alexander Lobanov and Carmel Gat reportedly lived on energy bars for months before eventually being executed by terrorists in Gaza. On Sept. 1, Israeli forces retrieved the bodies of the murdered hostages in a Rafah tunnel. Sinwar likely chose these six Israelis as human shields because they were considered particularly valuable assets. For...

So Yahya Sinwar has been killed. The leader of Hamas in Gaza is no more. The man widely believed to have been the architect of the pogrom of 7 October has been eliminated. The worst mass murderer of Jews since the Nazi era has been served the ultimate and most righteous punishment. The fascist is dead. This is a great day not only for Israel and the Jewish diaspora that has been smarting for more than a year from the horrors that Sinwar and his army of anti-Semites visited on southern Israel, but also for all of humanity. It was...

The IDF spokesman in Arabic tweeted tonight (Saturday), on the social network X, a former Twitter: "While the residents of Gaza do not have enough money for food, Sinwar's wife was observed entering the tunnel with him with a Birkin bag worth $32,000."

The IDF has released previously unseen footage of Yahya Sinwar hiding in a Gaza tunnel. The former leader of the Hamas terror network is believed to have been filmed on the night before the massacres of October 7 2023 when 1200 Israelis were murdered and over 250 taken hostage. It was an act that has sparked more than a year of war between Israel and several Iranian terror proxies in the Middle East.

IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari has revealed declassified footage of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and his family on the night of October 6, 2023, less than 24 hours before the Hamas massacre on Israel. In the footage, Sinwar and his family can be seen in a tunnel, stockpiling food, mattresses, and other necessities, seemingly preparing for a lengthy stay underground. "According to our intelligence, Sinwar hid mostly underground, in the area between Khan Yunis and Rafah," Hagari said. Hagari also noted that the IDF found tissues with Sinwar's DNA on them in Rafah, adding that Sinwar mostly remained underground. "He came...

Heidi Matthews, a law professor at York University in Toronto, specializing in international criminal law and laws of war, calls for an investigation into the elimination of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar by Israel. In a statement published on Twitter, Matthews wrote: ''A wounded fighter attempting an escape is not hors de combat; this is why Israel claims Sinwar was killed while trying to escape. While he was wounded in a first attack & fled to the building in which he died, the video shows him seated when he was killed." ''The physician who conducted Sinwar's autopsy confirmed the cause of...

On Wednesday evening, a little over a year after he brought unspeakable suffering to thousands of Israelis, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed in a chance encounter with IDF soldiers. While the IDF didn't officially confirm the details, a plethora of reports and eyewitness accounts in the Israeli media allow us to gain a comprehensive picture of the circumstances of the death of the world's most wanted terrorist. After the months that Israel's security forces were hunting Sinwar through the underground maze he had built himself in Gaza, he was found by chance, walking above ground in broad daylight in...

As Hamas reels from the loss of its chief instigator Yahya Sinwar, the terrorist organization’s remaining leaders defiantly proclaim they will not release Israeli hostages. Meanwhile on the northern border, the IDF is reporting that Hezbollah fighters are beginning to surrender. Also, as Tehran’s ring of fire around the Jewish State crumbles, Israel vows that its much-anticipated retaliatory attack against the Iranian regime is still imminent. Watch now.

After the massive news broke Thursday that Israel had taken out Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind of Hamas' horrific October 7 attacks against Israel, Kamala Harris marched out importantly and delivered a truly hypocritical statement saying that “Justice has been served”—even though she opposed Israel’s efforts in Gaza from day one. As RedState’s Bonchie wrote, it was truly “shameless.” Not to be outdone, her ostensible boss, Joe Biden, who had been on a flight to Germany when Sinwar’s death was announced, quickly trotted out his own shameless statement and, like Kamala, tried to liken the Israeli operation to America’s Bin Laden...

Senator John Fetterman @SenFettermanPA · 20h I want to salute Israel and celebrate the elimination of Yahya Sinwar—a necessary move for any future enduring peace. Eliminating the mastermind of the 10/7 massacre is the definition of justice served. My vote and my voice for Israel will not waver. https://twitter.com/SenFettermanPA/status/1846957363984495001

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released footage Friday of a tank firing a shell at the building in southern Gaza where Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was taking cover. He was killed by a sniper but the tank shell brought down the building. His body was discovered by soldiers the next day and sent to Israel for testing; his identity was confirmed hours later. The IDF said in a statement:

Israel claims to have killed the Hamas leader in Gaza during an ‘operation’. Israel claims to have killed Hamas’s political and military leader Yahya Sinwar in Gaza. Hamas has yet to confirm the claim. The Israeli military said on Thursday that Sinwar had been positively identified after he was killed the day before. Commentators spoke about Sinwar and what he means to the Palestinian resistance movement. Iran’s mission to the United Nations spoke of Sinwar as a “martyr”. Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud spoke from Gaza about how Palestinians were viewing the reported incident. “The way it’s been perceived, even by...

Video of interview embedded. Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of a founding member of Hamas, says to Chris Cuomo om 'News Nation' that the U.S. should now pressure Egypt to send troops into Gaza. "Sinwar is dead but the war is not over", Yousef lafter wrote on social media, "Those who call for the end of war are disconnected from reality". "The United States must give Israel all the necessary support to take over Rafah immediately", he added, "And the U.S. government must remove Ayatollah from power". .....

Warning: graphic content An Israeli drone captured Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar’s last minutes alive — as the Oct. 7 mastermind swung a piece of wood in a futile attempt to take out the device before he was killed, officials said. Shocking footage shows the moment a drone is deployed to check a building in Rafah that a group of IDF soldiers hit on Thursday. An injured Sinwar, who had his face covered, could be seen sitting alone on a coach in the destroyed building, with the IDF soldiers unaware that they were seeing the very man they had been hunting...

With Sinwar dead, the Biden Team is scrambling for a Hamas and Hezbollah victory assisted by Israeli talking heads. Even before final confirmation of the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the talking heads on Israeli television began to press to leverage this development for a deal which would end Israeli operations in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon. Now the Biden team, including Secretary of State Blinken, has announced that they are redoubling their efforts to end Israeli operations in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon. To be clear: the window dressing of freeing the hostages is front and center. But...

How will the Iranian regime respond to yet another crucial tentacle in their terror network being taken out? Watch now.
