Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is dead: Oct. 7 mastermind ‘eliminated’ by IDF

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind of the Oct. 7 terrorist attack, has been killed, Israel has confirmed after it conducted biometric testing.

In contrast to Israel’s notable intelligence successes of the past several weeks, Sinwar appears to have met his demise entirely by chance. He was killed, alongside two other Hamas terrorists on Wednesday, though Israelis did not realize it was Sinwar until a day later.

He was killed in Rafah above ground and no hostages were found nearby, despite the widespread belief he was hiding underground in Hamas’s elaborate network of tunnels underneath Gaza surrounded by hostages.

#WTH On Sinwar, and the challenge that remains
A year in, this war is not done

There’s no one that likes the sight of a dead terrorist more than I. Seeing a murderer with his brains blown out — a little gory — is the kind of cosmic justice decent people can celebrate. So yes, it’s a great day when Yahya Sinwar, the architect of October 7 and the leader of Hamas dies at the hands of an Israeli soldier. Pause, savor the moment, and allow me to add a few notes.

• Sinwar was a bad man, and he will not be missed. But Hamas has not been killed, because the people who believe in Hamas’ mission, whether in Iran or in Gaza or at Columbia and Harvard have not been persuaded that they have lost.

• America is always persuaded that there is a guy — that guy we like, we can “work with,” who “gets it,” and will solve our problems. We are always wrong. “Guys” don’t solve problems. Institutions, systems, values, and practices solve problems.

• Accordingly, killing the “guy” is a great moment, but despite the killing of Osama bin Laden and his many successors — great work — we have not killed al Qaeda. Why? Because it still has potent adherents on the march through the Middle East, South Asia, Africa, and beyond.

• Joe Biden and Kamala Harris celebrated Sinwar’s elimination, as they did Hassan Nasrallah’s. But they did everything they could to stand in the way of Israel’s ability to kill these enemies of America and Israel. Sinwar was killed in Rafah, which the Biden Administration insisted was a no go zone for the IDF. So yes, great he’s dead, but no thanks to Team Biden/Harris.

• The United Nations (as of this writing, silent on their pal Sinwar’s death) has not yet answered for its facilitation of Hamas and Hezbollah, nor for its employees (UNWRA) who work for Hamas, nor for its peacekeepers who cannot see Hezbollah’s violations of UN Security Council resolutions. The Biden Administration continues to insist that funding these terror enablers is in the best interests of American taxpayers. Without UN reform, we are subsidizing Iran.

• Until Israel crushes the threat from Hezbollah, there can be no chance for peace. So, no, Amos, Jake, Phil, and all the other boys who like to pass messages to the Israelis about their best interests from Joe and Kamala. Actually, Hezbollah needs to be subordinated to a real state of Lebanon or the fight doesn’t end.

• Then, the necessary Israeli response to Iran still hangs out there. Doubtless, the likes of Jake Sullivan will be telling the Jews that with Sinwar’s death, it’s time to declare victory and go back to making gefilte fish. That’s wrong. Iran must be dealt with, and Biden and Harris’s insistence that Iran not be harmed in any of its most vulnerable sites — nuclear, energy, military — is little more than a request to allow the mullahs another shot at Israel, on a later, and more propitious date.

• Bring. Them. Home. There are Americans being held in Gaza. There are more than 100 hostages still in the hands of Sinwar’s people. There can be no cease fire that leaves their plight unresolved.

There’s lots more here. Listen to our fantastic discussion on the anniversary of October 7th, here, or highlights below. tastic discussion on the anniversary of October 7th, here, or highlights below. Listen to people who understand how to deal with the military, strategic, and political threats talk about how we must deal with our enemies.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke on the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar on October 17, 2024. Israeli forces in Gaza killed Hamas’ top leader Sinwar, a chief architect of last year’s attack on Israel that sparked the war, the military said on October 17, 2024. Troops appeared to have run across him unknowingly in a battle, only to discover afterwards that a body in the rubble was Israel’s most wanted man.
