A drone slips through a glassless window of the second floor of a battle-scarred building.

Through the dust cloud whipped up by its propellers, its IDF operators spied a lone man, his face covered, sitting hunched on an armchair.

It is an injured Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader and the mastermind of the Oct 7 massacre, clutching a stick in his left hand.

Brandishing his makeshift weapon at the drone, Sinwar limply tosses it towards the hovering device, as if he was resigned to fate that he was about to die.

Moments later an Israeli Merkeva tank fired at the mysterious figure, its soldiers unaware it was Sinwar, Israel’s most wanted man.
