Israel to 'block Sinwar heroization' public opinion battle...Let's resume airstrikes.

Israeli forces claim that the recently killed Hamas leader, Shinwar, hid in a tunnel the day before a surprise attack on Israel in October last year.

As the trend of "Sinwar heroization" intensified in the Arab world, he released a series of rebuttal videos to block it.

This is a closed-circuit television video released by the Israeli military that shows Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar hiding in a tunnel.

Sinwar, two children and a woman believed to be members of the family, are moving food and clothing inside a tunnel.

The three-minute, nine-second video was shot from the night of October 6 last year, the day before Hamas' surprise attack on Israel, to the dawn of the next day.

Israel claimed that Sinwar was busy taking care of his family's survival even on the eve of the brutal slaughter.

Additional footage of the tank's shelling of the building at the time of the shooting of Sinwar on the 16th was also released.

It's a scene of aiming and shelling a Sinwar inside a building on the ground.

As the atmosphere of heroizing Sinwar in the Arab world has grown, the Israeli military seems to have launched a series of "anti-refutation videos" to block public opinion.

Footage first released by the Israeli military showed the wounded Sinwar struggling to throw a stick at the drone and resisting it to the end.

The Israeli military also distributed leaflets printed with images of Sinwar's body in Gaza, urging Hamas members to surrender.

Hamas says at least 73 people, including children and women, have been killed in Beit Lahia and other areas in the northern Ghazi district as Israeli forces resume airstrikes.
