They say Sinwar was found with an AK-47. This man was born in 1962. This makes him 62 years old, and he was on the front line. Compare this to Netanyahu, found in a bomb shelter every time there is an ant's weight of threat.
It also exposed the bs squirrel the zionist planted in the msm about Sinwar surrounding himself with hostages and carrying a bag of dynamite.

My favorite part:
Those reports also said Sinwar had become “fatalistic” after 12 months of intense warfare in which 42,000 Palestinians have been killed, believing he would die, but still hoping to ensnare Israel in a regional battle with Iran and allied groups around the Middle East, such as Lebanon’s Hezbollah.
In spite of all the saber rattling, if they continue their “resistance” (read: terrorist activities), leaders in Iran and Hezbollah will feel the same fear Sinwar felt right before the end. Watch as they fold up under pressure from Israel, and get back in line. Self-preservation is a strong motivator.

Forever amazed how one side can kill 40,000 (actually 200,000) innocent civilians and still somehow, SOMEHOW the other side are the terrorists.

People run from shelling in Gaza’s Jabalia; house bulldozed with family inside

Videos posted on social media and verified by Al Jazeera show heavy smoke enveloping a heavily damaged building in Jabalia in northern Gaza and chaotic scenes as people run for cover amid heavy Israeli shelling.
Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic, meanwhile, report that Israeli bulldozers have demolished a house in the al-Faluja area, where a family of displaced Palestinians are living.
Medical crews were unable to reach the house to evacuate the family before the house was demolished while they were inside.
There are also reports of an ongoing telecoms blackout as Israeli military vehicles and a large number of soldiers advance towards the Jabalia refugee camp from several directions.

UN expert on freedom of expression says Israel seeking to stop documentation of crimes

Irene Khan, special rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression, has presented a report to a special UN committee on global threats to freedom of expression arising from the conflict in Gaza.
She highlighted severe attacks on the media, including targeted killings and censorship, and the impunity surrounding these acts. She called for the establishment of an international investigative mechanism for killings of journalists.
Al Jazeera’s Gabriel Elizondo asked her about this. Here are some highlights from her response:
“The severe attacks on media in the occupied Palestinian territory, in Gaza, but also in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, the targeted killings of journalists, … the banning of Al Jazeera, the tightening of censorship within Israel and in the occupied territories seem to indicate a strategy of the Israeli authorities to silence critical journalism and obstruct documentation of possible international crimes,” she said.
When asked by Elizondo why, of all the documented cases of Israel targeting journalists, none has been investigated or prosecuted, Kahn replied:
“In most cases, impunity occurs because the national state is inactive and, therefore, the international mechanism has to be strengthened. There should be an international independent international mechanism to investigate when killings take place.”

More than 50 women, children among wounded from Israel’s deadly Jabalia attack: Doctor

Dr Mohamad Salha, acting director of al-Awda Hospital in the north of the Gaza Strip, spoke to Al Jazeera earlier about the attack on the Jabalia refugee camp which killed at least 33, and how his facility is struggling to treat the wounded.
“We have received more than 70 injuries in our emergency department and, also, more than 30 people who were killed,” Dr Salha told Al Jazeera.
“Until now, our ambulances and the ambulances of the Ministry of Health are still bringing cases to al-Awda Hospital and another hospital,” Salha said.
“Actually, we cannot handle such a large number of injuries, which have arrived [at] our department. We have to deal with a huge number in one hour,” he said.
“More than 50 of the injured who arrived [at] the hospital are women and children,” he added.
“The injuries which arrived at our emergency department are really complicated injuries – burns and we have to do amputations for some cases … and our capacity at the hospital is not that much because the Israeli occupation forces destroyed 50 percent of our capacity in the hospital”.

‘Decomposing and eaten by stray dogs’: Bodies in the streets of bombed, besieged Jabalia

Fares Afana, head of emergency services in northern Gaza, told Al Jazeera that ambulance crews and rescue workers are unable to retrieve the wounded and dying in Jabalia, while the bodies of the dead are lying in the streets “decomposing and eaten by stray dogs”.
“We received several emergency calls from people in the vicinity of Abu Ghazala School. However, we cannot respond to these calls as the Israeli soldiers deployed in the area are denying us access,” Afana said.
“It is confirmed that many dead bodies as well as wounded civilians are still lying in these residential homes. We had earlier appealed to the international community, namely the Red Cross, to act swiftly to at least spare the lives of those dying victims, and recover and bury the dead,” he said.
“Many of the dead are left on the streets, decomposing and eaten by stray dogs, as the [Israeli army] continue to deny paramedics access to the bombed areas,” he added.

Israeli forces also besiege Gaza’s al-Awda hospital

The Israeli military is also laying siege to the al-Awda Hospital in the Jabalia area of northern Gaza, according to the Al Mayadeen news outlet and the Quds News Network.
Earlier, we reported that Israeli tanks had surrounded the Indonesian Hospital in nearby Beit Lahiya. Israeli forces struck the second and third floors of the hospital with artillery shells, putting medical staff and patients at serious risk, according to director Dr Marwan al-Sultan.
Displaced Palestinians are sheltering in the grounds of both hospitals. No casualties or injuries have been reported so far.
We will bring you more information when we have it.

Director of Indonesian Hospital in Gaza says Israeli tanks have surrounded building

Israeli tanks have completely surrounded the Indonesian Hospital in Bait Lahiya, northern Gaza, and cut off the medical facility’s electricity supply, our Al Jazeera Arabic colleagues report, citing Dr Marwan al-Sultan.
Israeli forces have bombed the hospital, targeting the second and third floors with artillery shells, putting medical staff and patients at serious risk, according to al-Sultan.
Al Jazeera Arabic’s correspondent in Gaza also reports that Israeli forces have begun demolishing parts of the hospital.
