Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to ignore dire warnings from President Biden and Vice President Harris not to conquer the last major stronghold of Hamas terrorists in Rafah proved to be correct, according to military and Middle East experts. Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the country’s Shin Bet intelligence agency announced Wednesday that “soldiers from the Southern Command eliminated Yahya Sinwar, the leader of the Hamas terrorist organization, in an operation in the southern Gaza Strip.”
Biden and Harris congratulated Israel over the death of the Hamas terror chief, but, earlier this year, both warned Israel about going into Rafah, where Sinwar met his end. Sinwar oversaw the massacre of nearly 1,200 people on Oct. 7, 2023, including over 40 American citizens. In March, Harris declined to rule out “consequences” for Israel if it moved forward with an invasion of Rafah in Gaza.
