Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar said to be killed—Watch Jeremy Scahill break down what it means
Israeli officials are claiming Hamas leader Yahyah Sinwar has been killed in battle, a long-expected yet seismic event. As the news was breaking, I interviewed my colleague Jeremy Scahill this morning on Breaking Points on the meaning and significance of the development, which remains to be formally confirmed, though all indications suggest the reporting is accurate. You can watch that interview here.
Make sure to read Jeremy’s report from July, “On the Record With Hamas,” which includes extensive details on Sinwar’s life and role in Hamas. It was the very first article Drop Site published.
(If you don't already know, I co-host a Wednesday and Friday morning news program on the Breaking Points channel, but also chip in on segments when news is breaking.)

Thank you Ryan and Jeremy for the immense inner strength you have in confronting upfront this genocide and sadistic cruelty against Palestinians in their own land by Israel ... and telling us the truth. Reporters and medical/ humanitan teams trying to support Palestine are being killed by Israel, people are being burnt alive and desperate tent communities being bombed. Barbarism and murder that could be stopped by US. Thank you for the constant reality check that there's a different morality and a different world possible if we try.
Jeremy and Ryan, thank you for your continued humanity. You seek to help us understand what this means in a way that honours and uplifts the lives and experiences of Palestinians.
