Israel 'increasingly confident' Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar killed in Gaza..by Adam Durbin and Tinshui Yeungichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/1024/cpsprodpb/9ef5/live/e6df03e0-8c8c-11ef-8936-1185f9e7d044.jpgA statement has just come in from the Israeli authorities about the work being carried out to confirm if Yahya Sinwar has been killed. A joint statement from the Israel Defense Forces and Israel Police says that dental images have been submitted to a forensics lab and DNA testing is currently in progress. These samples from the alleged body will be compared to records Israel will have of Hamas leader as a result of the 22 years Sinwar spent in Israeli jail. The statement goes on to say that Israeli police, the IDF and the Shin Bet intelligence agency are "actively working to establish a definitive identification" and that further information will be released when available. Yahya Sinwar's death would be "historical justice", a retired Israeli general has told the BBC. Israel Ziv, a former senior officer in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), tells the BBC's Newshour programme that the Hamas leader's death is "pretty much a done deal". "Sinwar was the one to start the massacre of October 7th, and it's not just a justice for the Israeli people, for the victims' families, but it's also for the Palestinian people because he was the one to bring on them the result of the October 7th vicious attack," he adds. Again, it is important to note that Sinwar's death has not been confirmed. Cheshire just said all that 2 hours ago Breaking: Hamas leader Sinwar killed - The Israeli foreign minister says Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has been killed. |

Apart from those who march in London etc I don't think many will mourn his death. Well done Israel. |

Credit to Israel , they do seem to be able to hand pick of their foes when needed.
Why has it taken them so long.?
The organisations and terrorists are still there though.

Dozens reported killed in Israeli strike on northern Gaza, as Israel says PM's home targeted by drone..by Aoife Walsh and Matt Spiveyichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/1024/cpsprodpb/3ccd/live/c9b0f660-8df0-11ef-8e6d-e3e64e16c628.jpgAt least 33 people have been killed in Israeli air strikes on the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, Hamas-run authorities say. Israel has not commented Israeli forces have been besieging the densely-populated camp in recent weeks, saying it's trying to prevent Hamas fighters from regrouping Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar's death this week raised hopes of an end to the war, but Iran's supreme leader says the group will "remain alive" Meanwhile, Benjamin Netanyahu's office says a drone was launched towards the Israeli PM's home in Caesarea, northern Israel, but he wasn't there at the time Fighting is continuing in Lebanon, where Israel's military says it killed about 60 Hezbollah fighters and destroyed its regional command centre Hezbollah says it fired rockets at the Israeli city of Haifa and areas to its north

This sums up some things.....
"Fighting is continuing in Lebanon, where Israel's military says it killed about 60 Hezbollah fighters and destroyed its regional command centre
Hezbollah says it fired rockets at the Israeli city of Haifa and areas to its north"
Israel targets the terrorists and it's command structure. Hezbollah targets civilians in cities.

Israel said the strike hit a Hezbollah facility, and not the hospital "All around us, in every direction, there is destruction," says the BBC's Orla Guerin, on visiting the site Meanwhile, the BBC's Hugo Bachega says an Israeli strike completely destroyed a high-rise building close to a rare Hezbollah news conferece It comes as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv, calling on him to "capitalise" on the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and seek a truce in Gaza In northern Gaza, Palestinians have been fleeing following Israeli evacuation orders, while the situation in Jabalia refugee camp has been called "dire"

US urges Israel to halt UN Palestinian agency ban amid fears over Gaza aid..by Nathan Williamsichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/1024/cpsprodpb/2ce4/live/5ffd8ec0-9536-11ef-8e6d-e3e64e16c628.jpgIsrael's allies have condemned a vote in the Israeli parliament banning the UN's Palestinian refugee agency Unrwa from working within the country The laws - to come into effect within three months - bar Unrwa from operating in Israel and annexed East Jerusalem and severely curtail its ability to work in the occupied West Bank and Gaza US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said: "We continue to urge the government of Israel to pause the implementation of this legislation. We urge them not to pass it at all." Israel has objected to Unrwa for decades, with this intensifying over recent years. It alleged that some Unrwa employees were involved in the 7 October attacks. The UN held an investigation and fired nine staff members The UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres says Unrwa is indispensable and the ban would have devastating consequences for Palestinians

Oldie has a default list of villains, that must ALWAYS be referred to. Donald Trump. Brexit. Arthur Balfour. Cecil Rhodes. The British East India Company. Oliver Cromwell. To be fair, it must make life a lot easier when you know who to blame, even before any particular subject is mentioned. By contrast, it must be hard for those that do not even understand the history of their own country. How sad is that! I think most people on here understand the history of their own country. They just tend not to agree with your interpretation of it. |
