Drone footage released by the Israeli military shows the last moments before Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar’s death.
The footage has been edited at the source to include a freeze frame and graphics.
It shows a man sitting in a room destroyed by shelling. His face is covered with a scarf, possibly to hide his identity. With one wounded arm, the man reaches for a stick and throws it at the drone as it approaches closer.
IDF spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said the military then fired an additional shell at the building, causing it to collapse and killing Sinwar. The military confirmed three militants were killed in the operation.
Yahya Sinwar’s identity was confirmed by dental records, fingerprints and DNA tests, the Israeli police said.
