Unseen Footage Shows Slain Hamas Leader Sinwar in Gaza Operations

Unseen footage of slain Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, believed to be a key orchestrator of the October 7, 2023 attacks on Israel, has surfaced, showing him directing operations in Gaza prior to his death on October 16. The clips, aired by Al Jazeera, depict Sinwar in military attire, discussing strategies with other Hamas leaders and highlighting graffiti that indicates prior Israeli military activity in the area. The October 7 attacks resulted in over 1,200 fatalities and sparked a significant escalation in the Israel-Hamas conflict, leading to reported casualties exceeding 46,000 in Gaza. Sinwar's death marked a pivotal moment in the ongoing conflict, with Israeli forces claiming his elimination was a major blow to Hamas. Media outlets have noted the controversial nature of Al Jazeera's reporting, with accusations of its links to Hamas influencing its operations. This new footage emerges during a brief ceasefire period, allowing for discussions on prisoner exchanges between the two sides.
