The official line has been that that tank shell that
was fired at that building where Sinwar was already injured
was what dealt to the fatal blow and ultimately killed
the mastermind of the October 7th attacks.
But I spoke to the chief pathologist who actually carried
out the autopsy himself on Sinwar's body just yesterday, and
he told me that he was killed by a bullet
to the head.
The cause of death is gunshot wound in the head.
He has a bullet in his head and there's a
severe traumatic brain injury.
He has injury from other sources like a missile injury
in his right forearm, fallen masonry on his left leg
or thigh, more and many sharpeners that sharpeners that entered
his body, but only in the chest.
They caused the severe damage, but the cause of death
is the gunshot wound in the head.
And, Jake, Doctor Kugel told me that he is very
confident in his assessment, which he reached before being told
by the Israeli military what their version of events was.
The Israeli military, for their part, told me that they
believe that there was an exchange of gunfire and that
this battle ultimately ended with this tank shell being fired
into the building.
But they are still looking into the details of exactly
what happened.
There were actually images of Sinwar's body in the rubble
yesterday, some of them where he had his left index
finger and others where it appeared to have been cut
off.
And Doctor Kugel actually confirmed for me that that finger
was indeed cut off and sent to Israel before Sinwar's
body was used for DNA identification.
Listen, you have a suspicion that this is a Sinnoir
and they sent a sample, a finger that they cut
from his body in order to make the DNA profile.
And after the laboratory here made the profile, we compared
it with the profile that Sinnoir had in the term
that he was serving here as a prisoner.
So then we could identify him finally by his DNA
after the final identification.
Then the body arrived here at about 9:30 yesterday.
What percentage of certainty do you have based on that
DNA analysis?
100 percent, 100% yes.
