Israeli forces have released drone footage of Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar’s final moments before he was martyred in an apartment.
The video showed a destroyed apartment covered in dust, where he could be seen seated alone on a sofa.
The apparent Hamas chief can be seen throwing a stick at an approaching drone, while his right arm appears severely injured.

The operation began when Israeli infantry spotted suspected militants and opened fire, prompting a gunfight.
Sinwar fled to a damaged building, where he was tracked by drone surveillance.
Following his identification as a fighter, the Israeli military targeted the building, causing it to collapse and resulting in Sinwar’s death.
His identity was confirmed through dental records and DNA testing.
