The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Not sure if this was what @George-K posted, but is not longer available. Anyway, here is the drone camera of Sinwar

No he posted the death pics, (and a close up of teeth for ID) with the obvious hole in his forehead and the knee looking like he had an urgent knee replacement which was interrupted in the middle. Easy to find online.
There was a specific decision to publish the graphic pictures, usually these things are more difficult to find, like bootleg albums ( remember those?) but here the government wanted to stress the fact that he died like a rat alone and…well suffering. Population needed closure on this.

I don’t know. Watching that video, I can see how Hamas can get some Martyr mileage from that video. Just look at the comments on YouTube.

And from Al Jazeera:
The fact that Sinwar died fighting has added a final chapter to his story as a fighter and leader who has been involved with Hamas since its founding.
And:
Defiant to the end, Sinwar, who was injured and resting in a damaged armchair, threw a stick at the drone that was searching the building to find the last masked fighter.
The building was then shelled by tanks and missiles, killing Sinwar.
Note they skip over the fact that an Israeli sniper killed him before the building was shelled.

A large convoy of trucks carrying aid was “violently looted” in the Gaza Strip over the weekend and its drivers forced at gunpoint to unload supplies, the main United Nations agency that helps Palestinians said on Monday, calling it one of the worst such incidents of the war.
The agency, known as UNRWA, said in a statement on Monday that the convoy of 109 trucks had been driving from the Kerem Shalom border crossing in southern Gaza when it was looted on Saturday. Most of the trucks were lost, some of the drivers were reportedly shot, and some vehicles sustained extensive damage, the agency said.
Only 11 trucks made it to their destination, said Louise Wateridge, an UNRWA spokeswoman currently in Gaza. Attackers shot the trucks’ tires out in order to stop and loot some of the vehicles, she said, and the agency is still waiting to hear how many casualties there were, and what types of injuries convoy members sustained.
The incident highlighted the difficulties aid workers face bringing aid into Gaza, despite months of attempts to help it arrive safely. The need is urgent. Earlier this month, a U.N.-backed panel said that all of Gaza faced a risk of famine between now and April, with the north at particular risk.
“People at the moment are absolutely desperate for anything,” Ms. Wateridge said. “We’re back at a stage where we’re seeing people literally fighting over a bag of flour.”
She said: “Israeli authorities continue to restrict a huge amount of the humanitarian response. Everything here is being strangled — food, flour, water — everything.”
The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the episode. It was not clear who was responsible for the looting. In the past, Israel has accused Hamas militants of robbing aid convoys to supply their own forces. Hamas also did not respond to a request for comment.
The convoy had been scheduled to enter Gaza on Sunday, but the Israeli military instructed it to leave a day earlier “at short notice via an alternate, unfamiliar route,” he U.N. agency said.
Ms. Wateridge told The New York Times that her agency was instructed a day before the scheduled transport that the convoy had to leave within 30 minutes — a huge logistical risk for drivers, who had little mobile data access to plan for the new routes safely.
"In the past Israel has accused..."
Well, NYT, who was responsible for the looting? C'mon gimme a wild-assed guess. Is it just possible that it was someone whose organization starts with "H"? It took you 7 paragraphs to even say the word.
