Gaza City/Tel Aviv: With the release of the postmortem report of former head of Hamas, Yahya Sinwar, Israel’s claims that Hamas is diverting all the humanitarian aid and food coming to Gaza get debunked.
The postmortem report suggested that Sinwar did not eat any food until three days before his execution.
Israel had advertised that while Gazans were starving, Sinwar was living a comfortable life underground.
Moreover, the postmortem report reveals the depth of starvation faced by the people of Gaza. Israel's National Forensic Institute Director Chen Kugel revealed that Sinwar had not eaten anything until 72 hours before his death.
Earlier, when Israel launched an attack on Gaza, Israel had spread lies that Sinwar had escaped with his family. However, Sinwar was killed in direct combat with the Israeli army in Gaza itself.
Meanwhile, Israel has yet to release Sinwar's body to his relatives or return it to Gaza. After the postmortem, the body has been shifted to an unknown location.
Meanwhile, in the Middle East, a potential retaliation from Iran towards Israel is looming. The airstrikes by Israel, targeting Iran’s military facilities, were part of a cycle of escalation initiated when Iran launched ballistic missiles at Israel earlier in the month. Iran initially downplayed the impact of Israel's October 26 strikes but has since shifted its tone, with top Iranian officials now promising a firm response. Senior officials, including Khamenei’s chief of staff and Iran’s top military figures, now emphasize that Iran’s retaliation will be severe and unprecedented. The head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps suggested the upcoming response would far exceed Israel’s expectations, framing Israel’s actions as a miscalculation of Iranian resolve.
