The release of the video highlights the ongoing conflict narrative between Israel and Hamas, particularly in how each side portrays its leaders and their actions during confrontations.
The emphasis on Sinwar's last moments serves to reinforce the resistance narrative among Hamas supporters, while Israel aims to project strength and success in its military operations.
The autopsy findings and video evidence raise questions about the transparency and accuracy of military engagements reported by both sides.
The continued release of videos and narratives by the Israeli army may escalate tensions further, as both sides seek to control the narrative of the conflict.
Hamas may use the portrayal of Sinwar's final moments to galvanize support and reinforce its resistance messaging among its base and sympathizers.
Military expert Major General Fayez Al-Duwairi has provided insights into a recently released video by the Israeli army, depicting the final moments of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar during his last confrontation.
The new video, part of a series, shows Sinwar engaging in combat despite being gravely injured, particularly in the head, arm, and thigh, according to an autopsy report.
Al-Duwairi noted that the Israeli army's narrative surrounding Sinwar's death appears to be an attempt to bolster its image following the announcement of his martyrdom on October 16, 2024.
The military expert criticized the Israeli army's previous video releases, suggesting they were poorly directed and manipulated to fit a victory narrative.
