An analysis of videos and photos released by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has revealed that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed in one of the few remaining houses in a residential area of Rafah. The geolocation was determined by comparing recent satellite imagery to images shared on social media by the IDF.
The house where Sinwar was found was located approximately 1,000 feet (300 meters) from what appeared to be an IDF forward operating base or vehicle depot. Satellite images from Planet Labs showed military vehicles and a bulldozer parked among newly constructed earthen berms in the vicinity over multiple days and weeks.
