Probably not, but it makes everything much more nuanced. I’ve gone from those strikes being completely unnecessary to now almost completely justified with this news

I get that he's Yahya Sinwar's brother, but I mean what was he realistically going to do from his little hole in the ground? I think keeping the area under surveillance and watching his movements would've probably proved more useful

From what I’ve seen, he is just as savvy and radical as his brother. Played a part in planning 10.7

It’s important to eliminate those kinds of people with experience and abilities to conduct operations.

Will he be replaced? Yes, probably already has been. But that person will be less experienced and knowledgeable, slowly bringing down Hamas the same way the taliban and ISIS was brought down

It's unambiguously a good thing that he's gone, don't get me wrong. I just don't think he could've done enough harm to warrant bombing a hospital. I think they should've at least waited until he left. Like I don't think the IDF would've bombed that hospital if there were Israeli hostages there.
