Yahya Sinwar

I imagine that anyone living as Sinwar did, hiding in bunkers, moving around underground corridors with his plastic bag of possessions, etc, must know that he is being sought-after for a very good reason. He must have known that his days were numbered.

You cannot head a vile terrorist group without knowing that there is a price on your head, and that that price will soon have to be paid.

Bad people know that they are bad people. Those who live their lives correctly and with respect for others, have no need to hide.

But as we all now know, if you live by the sword, you will die by the sword, and Sinwar knew that too.

Although he did eventually get his comeuppance, there are plenty of others who wish to replace him, and will in turn meet their own ends. At this very moment they are hiding away in other fox-holes, living the life of the hunted, and daring not show their faces in public.

Film has also now emerged of Sinwar's wife in the same tunnel as her husband, carrying a £25,000 Birkin Bag (whatever that is). Yasser Arafat was probably the biggest embezzler of Hamas/PLO funds, and it looks as if the habit is continuing. When Sinwar's body was found, allegedly with him was found 'Millions of Israeli Sheckles'. These millionaire terrorists don't deprive themselves. It must be great to live off money kindly donated to the people of Gaza.

It's a strange way to live, but some choose to live that way, causing misery to millions; and they have to be dealt with.

N.B. I now hear that the replacement head of Hezbollah, Hashem Safieddine, has also been eliminated. I can't imagine there'll be much of a queue wishing to take his place; although the huge wealth that comes with the job must be tempting.
