According to the initial reports, they were not there on an assassination operation and had no prior intelligence that they could be in the vicinity of the elusive Hamas leader, architect of the 7 October attacks, the man Israel most wanted to kill. It was only after they took a closer look at his face and found identity documents on him that the troops realised they had got Sinwar.
I mean when you more or less destroy 2/3rds of a region chances are good you’ll hit some kind of target. So much for Israeli precision and advanced intelligence.
Yeah they were there just shooting civilians as usual accidentally got someone important lol.
Ok, new leader in 5 minutes. What’s the point?
