The head of the Palestine-based resistance group Hamas, Yahya Sinwar was killed on Thursday in an intelligence-based ground.
The head of the Palestine-based resistance group Hamas, Yahya Sinwar was killed on Thursday, October 17, during an Israeli ground operation in occupied southern Gaza. The autopsy conducted within 24 to 36 hours following the operation, revealed chilling details about the circumstances of Sinwar’s death.
It confirmed that Yahya Sinwar died from a gunshot wound to the head which caused server bleeding. Additionally, he had sustained significant injuries, including a smashed forearm likely caused by shrapnel from a missile or tank shell.
According to the CNN reports, the chief pathologist at the National Center of Forensic Medicine in Israel, Dr Chen Kugel, conducted the autopsy of the body and determined that Sinwar had tried to stop the bleeding from his arm using an electric cord, however, it was ineffective. The injury to his forearm was so severe that it would not have been treated with such a makeshift tourniquet.
Furthermore, to ensure that it was indeed Sinwar’s body, Israeli soldiers cut off one of his fingers to compare with the DNA databases collected when he was imprisoned in Israel between 1991 and 2011.
