    Former Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar could be seen throwing a stick at the IDF drone that attacked him moments before his assassination on Thursday, the Israeli military showed in released footage.

    In the footage, a masked Sinwar is circled in red with the stick he threw at the drone.

    Sinwar can then be seen throwing the stick towards the drone as he sits on a bench, surrounded by the rubble of the building he was in.

    IDF spokesperson R.-Adm. Daniel Hagari released the images late Thursday evening during his statement confirming Sinwar’s death, describing the events leading to the killing.

    “Sinwar was hiding in an area that our troops had surrounded for a long time. We didn’t know he was there, but we continued to operate with determination,” Hagari explained.

    Hagari then described that the attack was carried out after the IDF identified three terrorists who fled between houses in Gaza.

    “Sinwar fled alone into one of the buildings. Our forces used a drone to scan the area, which you can see here in the footage I present.”

    After presenting the footage, Hagari explained: “Sinwar, who was wounded in the hand by gunfire, is seen here with his face covered as he throws a wooden plank at the drone in his final moments. We identified him as a terrorist in a building, shot at the building and then went inside to search. We found him with a vest, a pistol and 40,000 shekels. He was on the run, on the run, and our troops took him out.

    “Sinwar was responsible for the most brutal attack on Israel in our history when terrorists from Gaza invaded Israel,” Hagari stressed.

    “For the past year, Sinwar tried to escape justice. He failed. We said we would find him and bring him to justice, and we did. It was Yahya Sinwar who decided to go to war with Israel while he hid behind civilians in Gaza.” he added.
