Somewhere beneath the rambling town of Khan Yunis, Yahya Sinwar, the murderous leader of Hamas in Gaza, is awaiting his fate. The terrorist leader, who orchestrated the October 7th atrocity and the deaths of 1,200 innocent Israelis, knows that his days are numbered.
Either the 61-year-old Palestinian will die from the impact of a 500 lb satellite guided Joint Direct Attack Munition bomb exploding above the fetid hole in which he is hiding or his life will end in a hail of bullets fired by Israeli commandos, with orders to kill and not capture the Hamas leader.
While his death should be rightly celebrated, it will also give the Israelis a useful ‘offramp’ out of the conflict
While his death, when it comes, should be rightly celebrated, his demise will also provide the Israeli government with a useful ‘offramp’ out of the conflict.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised the Israeli people in the wake of the terrorist attacks that he would destroy Hamas.
