As speculation Sinwar killed grows, Gallant tweets: ‘We will reach every terrorist and eliminate them’
Jacob Magid is The Times of Israel's US bureau chief
As the assessment that Israel has killed Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar grows, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant tweets, “We will reach every terrorist and eliminate them.”
Quoting the biblical book of Leviticus, Gallant adds, “You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall before you by the sword.”
The defense minister attaches photos of former Hamas military chief Muhammad Deif and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah with Xs over them along with a third photo that is blacked out, but also has an X through it, apparently resembling Sinwar.
