Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind of 7 October, went to meet his maker last week. Having spent a year being pursued through the underground tunnels of Gaza that he had built, he finally put his head up above the surface in the Tal al-Sultan area of Rafah. The world that had told the IDF not to go into Rafah was once again proved wrong. Sinwar was killed in an exchange of fire by a 19-year-old Israeli soldier who was not even in uniform on 7 October.
People inside the ICC were annoyed by the way Khan made himself a sort of ‘world policeman’
A couple of days after Sinwar’s demise, I went into Rafah to see the house where he spent his final minutes. It had once been a rather nice villa, owned by a Palestinian family who have since been keen to stress that they had absolutely no connection to the dead terrorist.
