The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Hamas movement, released footage of leader Yahya Sinwar, who was killed on October 16, 2024, documenting his role as a commander in military operations before his death.

The footage included secret documents, including an operational order signed by Yahya Sinwar on October 5, 2023, which set the time of the attack for October 7 at 06:30, two days before the operation.


The documents also contained precise instructions for attacks on Israeli military bases such as "Yiftah", "Nahal Oz" and "Kissufim".

The video featured Sinwari on the ground leading military operations against Israeli forces in Rafah and other areas of the Gaza Strip. Scenes showed him moving between ambushes, boosting the morale of Al-Qassam Brigades fighters, and overseeing operational planning with the commander of the “Tel Sultan” battalion in Rafah, Mahmoud Hamdan, who was later killed.

In another scene, Sinwar was seen on the front lines observing an Israeli military vehicle that was hit and disabled in the Tel Sultan neighborhood of Rafah. The footage also showed precise surveillance operations carried out by the Al-Qassam Brigades along the entire border prior to Operation “Al-Aqsa Flood.”

The video went viral on social media, with Palestinian and Arab users sharing snippets of Sinwar reciting the line, “At the red gate of freedom, every bloody hand knocks.” The phrase was borrowed from the famous Egyptian poet Ahmed Shawqi in his 1926 poem “The Catastrophe of Damascus,” as a protest against the French bombing of Damascus during the Great Syrian Uprising.

This video and the recited verses highlighted Sinwar's figure as a "field commander and symbol of Palestinian resistance," while the Israeli army considered it an attempt to present a "terrorist" as a symbol of war. /Telegraph/
