How Israel Forensic Unit Identifies Yahya Sinwar In Gaza Attack

Yahya Sinwar, the chief architect of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel that triggered the Gaza war, was eliminated on Oct 17. The IDF troops operating in Gaza were not specifically targeting Hamas Chief Yahya Sinwar. Israeli Soldiers were unaware that Sinwar might be in the building where they were operating. Upon inspection of the damage, Israeli soldiers realised that one of the 3 terrorists killed strongly resembled Sinwar. The IDF sent the samples of Sinwar’s body to Israel’s Institute of Forensic Medicine for identification. Sinwar spent over two decades in an Israeli prison where he went through several medical procedures. Sinwar’s death represented a major boost to the Israeli military and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanya
