Why would they announce this before they were sure?

The dentals match. They compared it to the xrays they had of when he was treated in an Israeli prison.
But I guess they want to be 100% sure with the DNA test.

Ah, that’s good to hear. Odd that the article didn’t mention it…

Causing panic among Hamas militants

Israeli army says

Downvote this propaganda.

Realistically, there are only two parties that can report this, Hamas/ Iran and Israel.

So, who do you believe in to get the news about the current events related to this war?

Realistically, Israel could permit third party journalists and investigators back into the conflict zone.

Letting anyone inside a war zone is a very bad idea. This is why war zones called war zones. Anyone inside a war zone is in an official life danger.

PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 17 Oct 19:35 next collapse

Very true, I’m certain those who go into war zones are aware of the dangers posed to them. Keeping conflict journalists out despite their knowledge of and willingness to brave those dangers is suspect.

And it totally has nothing to do with the huge # of third party journalists that have been killed by the IDF already despite incredibly clear press markings. It’s almost like the IDF wants the ability to control the narrative or something…

And when said reporters die in said war zones, the whole world: “Israel indiscriminately kills reporters”

Make up your mind. You can allow people to enter and risk their lives in war zone even though it’s mega dangerous, but don’t blame solely one side of a war for the deaths of said reporters. Because that’s clearly shows your bias.

prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 17 Oct 19:48 collapse

You act like war reporting doesn’t have a rich history. This isn’t a new concept.

Only one county in the past ~50 years or so has become known for targeting clearly-delineated journalists in war zones.

Well maybe two since the US did it at least once in Afghanistan. But once isn’t a pattern.

Update: He’s definitely dead. According to the NYT:

The Israeli military confirmed that Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, was killed on Wednesday. His body was definitively identified by the Israeli authorities, the military said.

Hopefully now a better future for Palestinians and Israelis is ahead.

Letstakealook@lemm.ee on 17 Oct 19:04 collapse

Israel isn’t just going to stop their genocide. There’s no future for Palestinians while Israel is allowed to murder and rape unimpeded. These monsters have been shooting goddamn children in the head. They do not deserve any future.
