The killing of Sinwar seems to tell us a few things that Israel has lied about.

1. Hamas leaders aren’t hiding in tunnels. Israel has used this excuse to destroy every school, university, hospital, etc in Gaza because supposedly the Hamas leaders are hiding out.

2. Hamas wasn’t using Palestinians or Israeli hostages as human shields. You would think the leader of Hamas would be the most protected.

3. Israeli intelligence can’t be trusted. They were lucky to get Sinwar, but had no clue he was there, yet they supposedly know that random Hamas members are “hiding” in a refugee camp.

None of that makes sense.

I don’t think you can conclude any of those three things from the death of Sinwar. Just because he was in a building yesterday doesn’t mean that he has been in that exact same building since the war started. These guys with a target on their backs tend to be very mobile. Additionally, word is that he was very pale which would track with not being in the sunlight for most of the last year. Finally, Hamas has a proven track record of using Palestinian civilians as human shields and has even bragged about doing so. If anything, the killings of Sinwar as well as essentially every single other terrorist on Israel’s most wanted list has validated Israel’s strategy over the past 12 months. They have destroyed Hezbollah and have severely weakened Hamas.
 
Rai, how is your family doing? With the eruption of fighting in Lebanon, and the IDF continuing its business as usual indiscriminate bombings in Gaza, I’ve been thinking about them. Forgive me if I’m treading on a sensitive subject.

Thanks for asking. I had a cousin and his family that was able to fly out of Beirut a couple days before the road to the airport was bombed. So they were lucky. My family is originally from parts of what are now Israel, but have distant cousins in Gaza that I don’t know. However, I have many friends locally that have had family members killed (over 100 at least). It’s been a very hard year. Things are getting worse by the day. Israel has cut off communication in northern Gaza again and are committing massacres that can’t be reported because there are barely any journalists still alive there. This was posted by one journalist earlier today:
