IDF releases Sinwar letter encouraging Oct. 7 terrorists to plan broadcast of massacre footage
Sinwar's letter, shared by the IDF on the second anniversary of his assassination, called on terrorists to plan producing "horrific images" including shooting point-blank, slaughtering victims.
On October 16, 2024, IDF troops killed Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, in a firefight in Rafah, Gaza. The troops were searching for high-value targets after intelligence indicated terrorists were present in a Tel Sultan neighborhood. Sinwar was found alone in a building following the engagement. He was killed by heavy fire from IDF troops, including tank shells and machine gun fire.
The IDF released footage and communications recordings from the operation, marking a significant turning point in Israel's war against Hamas.
