IDF releases headcam footage from soldier during killing of Hamas leader Sinwar

The IDF releases new footage from the headcam of a soldier of the Bislamach Brigade, during the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar earlier this month in southern Gaza’s Rafah.

The troops had engaged and killed four gunmen in Rafaj’s Tel Sultan neighborhood, one of whom was later revealed to be Sinwar.

The IDF also publishes an audio recording of the radio communications between commanders during the incident.

“Another dirty (terrorist) we eliminated him, we identified him with a blanket on him, he’s currently eliminated, over,” one officer is heard saying.

“There might be more walking around between you, between the debris, but amazing work of the company, the battalion, and the sharpshooter,” another officer says.

The building that Sinwar was in was also shelled by tanks. It remains unclear if the marksman or the tank shelling dealt the killing blow.
