Among other possessions discovered in Sinwar’s possession at the time of his death were an assault rifle, nearly $11,000 in cash, and an UNRWA passport.
When Israeli forces examined Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar’s body after killing him in a surprise ground operation on Thursday, they discovered several curious items, including grenades, an assault rifle, nearly $11,000 in cash, and a passport belonging to an employee of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency.
Those items, experts told the Washington Free Beacon, suggest Sinwar may have been attempting to flee the embattled Gaza Strip when Israeli forces stumbled upon him inside a house in the territory’s Rafah neighborhood, Hamas’s stronghold along the border with Egypt.
