Iran compared Yahya Sinwar with Saddam Hussein, Israel also said a big thing – India TV Hindi

Jerusalem: Israel released video footage filmed from a drone after claiming the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. In this video footage, he is allegedly seen sitting in an injured condition in a house destroyed by a bomb in Palestine. Israel is seeing this as a big victory because Sinwar, the mastermind of the October 7 attack, is seen injured and helpless in the video. At the same time, Iran compared Sinwar’s last moments with the death of Saddam Hussein and presented Saddam as ‘cowardly’ and Sinwar as ‘brave’.

Sinwar’s speech went viral on social media

However, people of many Arab and Muslim majority countries seem to have completely different opinions towards Israel. In this dusty, blurry video, they see a brave man who was martyred while fighting till the end. Along with this video, some excerpts from a speech of Sinwar are also going viral on social media, in which he had said that he would like to die fighting in the battlefield. Osama Gawish, an Egyptian journalist, wrote on social media, ‘By releasing the video of the last moments of Yahya Sinwar’s life, occupying Israel made his life bigger than that of his murderers.’

Yahya Sinwar looked like this in the video footage.

Mixed reaction regarding Sinwar in Gaza

Let us tell you that there is a mixed reaction in Gaza regarding the death of Sinwar. Some people were seen mourning the death of Sinwar while some heaved a sigh of relief and expressed hope that now the terrible war that started after the attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 will come to an end. It is said that Sinwar had instructed Hamas to attack Israel. Three days after Sinwar’s death, Israeli forces left leaflets in southern Gaza. These leaflets showed another photograph of Sinwar, allegedly lying dead on a chair, with his finger cut and bleeding from the head.

‘Sinwar was killed while running away in fear’

The leaflets dropped by Israel read, ‘Sinwar ruined your life. He hid in a dark place and was killed while running away in fear.’ Sadiq Abu Amer, chief of the Palestinian Dialogue Group, an Istanbul-based think tank, said, ‘I don’t think any major Palestinian leader has died fighting like Sinwar.’ Hamas political leader Ismail Haniya died in a hotel room in Iran, while Lebanon’s Hezbollah group leader Hassan Nasrallah died in an underground bunker after dozens of massive bomb blasts. Unlike these two, Sinwar died while fighting the Israeli army.

‘Saddam was pleading despite having weapons’

Hamas Iran’s main supporter went a step further and compared Sinwar’s death to that of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, considered Iran’s arch enemy. A statement issued by Iran’s UN mission said Saddam was dragged out of an underground bunker and ‘pleading even though he was armed’. Whereas on the other hand, Sinwar died while fighting the enemy. Let us tell you that Saddam Hussein, the Sunni ruler of Shia-dominated Iraq, had once attacked Iran and caused a lot of damage to it.
