The Israeli military said Thursday it was probing whether Hamas leader and Oct. 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar was among three terrorists killed in a recent strike in Gaza.

“During IDF operations in Gaza, three terrorists were eliminated,” the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.

“The IDF and ISA [Israel Security Agency] are checking the possibility that one of the terrorists was Yahya Sinwar. At this stage, the identity of the terrorists cannot be confirmed.”

It added that there were no signs that any hostages had been present in the building where the three terrorists were killed.

Apparently DNA testing has confirmed Sinwar has assumed sand temperature. He's getting to know his 72 Helen Thomases.

Evidently Sinwar was carrying a fake passport and a bunch of cash. I wonder if he was trying to bug out from Gaza.

Biden opposed the Biden Laden raid.
Kamala opposed the Sinwar mission.
Didn’t stop them from claiming credit though.

In light of Sinwar having fake ID identifying him as an UNRWA teacher, and in light of Merrick Garland's insistence that UNRWA continues to enjoy absolute immunity from prosecution, it's time for a strong conservative president to end this farce, withdraw from the UN, and kick this benighted and corrupt organization out of the US. You want to give cover to terrorists? Get the hell out of New York City, and give us back the billions we pay you every year.

Of Course: Sinwar's Bodyguard Was a UNRWA Teacher

https://hotair.com/david-strom/2024/10/18/sinwars-bodyguard-was-a-unrwa-teacher-n3795948

You may recall that both Biden and Harris warned Israel against entering Rafah, where Sinwar was found and killed, and has been pushing Israel for months to cease its war against Hamas. It was vitally important to the UN and the US that Hamas and Hezbollah survive to fight again.
...
But there is another angle to this story, and it, too, has much to do with Biden's attachment to the transnational consensus against Israel. The administration is demanding Israel tolerate the UNRWA's continued presence in Israel and its role in helping run the so-called "Palestinian territories." Biden and Harris have, through Tony Blinken, threatened Israel with an arms embargo if they do not support the UNRWA's role in the region.
...
That is outrageous. The UNRWA is, for all intents and purposes, a terrorist front. It may be a UN organization and hence beloved by the establishment, but it harbors terrorists. Its employees, including medical personnel and teachers, participated in the October 7th massacre, held hostages, taught children the ins and outs of terrorism, and fostered hate and violence in the region. Sinwar's bodyguard was a UNRWA teacher, which was totally predictable.
