Israeli media reported on Friday that the autopsy of the head of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), Yahya Sinwar, had been completed after Israel announced that he had been killed “by accident” in a clash with its soldiers in Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.
The newspaper “Israel Today” explained that the autopsy on Sinwar’s body had been completed At the Abu Kabir Institute of Forensic Medicine and kept in a “secret” place, indicating that the body could be used as a bargaining chip in the future.
The newspaper added that the autopsy results showed that Al-Sinwar was hit by a gunshot to the head and killed by a bullet fired at him from a long distance, in addition to being hit by a shell, and shrapnel was found in his body, while Israeli Army Radio reported that Al-Sinwar’s finger was cut off immediately after he was suspected of being killed and sent for fingerprint examination.
This comes after the occupation army published what it said were Sinwar’s last moments after he was killed following clashes in the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, the day before yesterday, Wednesday.
According to the Israeli story, the occupation forces took the initiative to clash with these people without being able to identify them, while one of them – who later turned out to be Al-Sinwar – took refuge alone in a building, before an Israeli drone surveyed the area.
Pictures published by the Israeli army show Al-Sinwar, masked, sitting on a chair and throwing a wooden plank towards an Israeli drone, before he was targeted by firing a tank shell at the building, inside which “Sinwar was found wearing a protective vest containing bullet magazines and a number of hand grenades, and with a pistol.”
