Who knows why Sinwar went out and got in a shooting fight with the Jews instead of hiding in the tunnels. Probably, he was angry. But maybe he had some kind of disease and wanted to go out shooting? Or something?
Anyway, we’ve seen these leaders die over and over again, and the Arabs just keep on fighting. Israel can’t stop the rockets from Gaza or Lebanon, and there is no reason they would ever be able to stop them short of killing literally everyone.
Hamas has acknowledged the death of its leader Yahya Sinwar but vowed to keep fighting, in the face of international calls for an immediate ceasefire.“We are continuing Hamas’s path,” Khalil al-Hayya, Sinwar’s deputy said from exile in Qatar, adding that the slain leader’s conditions for a ceasefire would not be compromised.
Those conditions included a cessation of Israeli military operations in Gaza, the complete withdrawal of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) from the occupied coastal strip, and the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
…
For his part, Hayya warned the hostages “will not return … unless the aggression against our people in Gaza stops”.
Arabs really are the Fremen. They just keep coming.
May God help them.
At least 450 Palestinians have been killed in the Israeli siege of northern Gaza that has been going on for nearly two weeks. Residents say they’ve been cut off from humanitarian aid and supplies of food and water.
