    He waited so long to become a martyr. He made sure so many people got to go ahead of him too. Glad he finally got his wish.

    Hamas and Hezbollah leaders both killed within the last few weeks, absolutely incredible!

    Symbolic, the war starter on the last sukot holiday, Sinwar is dead on the first day of the sukot holiday.

    Edited: yes my mistake, sukot and not passover.

  4. For years, Sinwar unleashed a reign of bloodshed, murdering Palestinians and Israelis alike. He loved it. He encouraged his people to act ruthless violence and fanaticism. There were endless atrocities that he is directly responsible for, and every death in Gaza and Israel since October 7th can be laid at this feet.

    His much delayed death is a significant blow against Hamas’ reign of terror. I only hope that the path towards a lasting peace for all is now one step closer

  5. And instantly the world became a better place.

    It’s a sad life someone’s lived that the entire world becomes better when they’re no longer part of it. Speaks volumes the the evil some people can be.

  6. Are they using DNA because he wasn’t recognisable or are they just checking it wasn’t a double? 

  7. Good riddance. Now I just hope that the remaining hostages can be finally rescued and end this madness with proper cooperation between both sides.

    Thank you IDF. Taking out the world’s trash has been a thankless endeavor but you have this redditor’s gratitude.

  9. I’m hoping this simplifies the situation in the region. With Sinwar out, I’d like to think it’s possible peace or ceasefire negotiations might be easier. Israel won’t need to guarantee any security for Sinwar or have to deal with him. Of course, I realize negotiations here are more complicated than that. At the very least, we’re dealing with multiples parties, political ambition, and very deep feelings on all sides.

  10. Rest in piss you won’t be missed

    Hamas should surrender now for the sake of the Palestinian people, the hostages, and the rotting minds in the west

  11. Yeah they would have his DNA on file, given his time in Israeli custody and the surgery he received to remove a brain tumour.

  12. I just want the hostages to be free. I am glad he’s dead, but I worry about what this means for them.

    Rest in piss bozo, you won’t be missed, dragged a whole country into war. Pushed for radical islamization and hate. Piece of shit.

  14. In a year and 10 days Israel has decimated the leadership of two powerful terrorist organizations. People want to argue whether the ends justify the means in these cases but I am not sure how much you can reduce civilian casualties in urban warfare especially one one side purposefully tries to inflate civilian death for their own ends.

    Don’t disseminate and harbor hate incarnate if you don’t want to get smashed. It’s really an issue for all three Abrahamic religions in particular and most surviving religions in general.
