Two Years After Sinwar's Death: IDF Releases New Footage and Pre-Oct. 7 Orders

Marking two years since the elimination of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the IDF has released a series of archival materials from the war and the period preceding it. According to reports in The Jerusalem Post and Israel National News, the disclosures include never-before-seen footage of Sinwar and a handwritten document from before October 7 in which he instructed terrorists to document atrocities.

Additionally, new details have emerged regarding the letter from Sinwar's son recovered in the Gaza Strip in 2024. The Jerusalem Post reported that the letter was written by his 10-year-old son and included drawings of tanks and missiles alongside a Spider-Man sticker. Outlets Reshet 13 and The Jerusalem Post noted that Sinwar's death was viewed as a turning point in the Gaza war and in Hamas's conduct.

Further details regarding the findings have not yet been released.
