Israeli Military Drone Footage Claims to Show Yahya Sinwar Shortly Before He Was Killed

The Israeli military released a video on Thursday showing a drone flying into a building in Rafah, where a man the video identifies as Yahya Sinwar is sitting on a chair. The Israeli military described the video as showing Mr. Sinwar "moments before his elimination." While the video has been edited, it is clear that the man, who is covered in dust, watches the drone for at least 20 seconds before throwing an object, possibly a stick, at the drone. The Times could not independently verify the identity of the man. The room seen in the drone video matches the location of earlier photographs obtained by The New York Times showing the corpse of a man closely resembling Mr. Sinwar.
