Drone That Caught Yahya Sinwar Was Donated By New Jersey Jews Says IDF Captain

American Israeli Defense Forces reservist Chaim Meisels didn’t just fly from New York to Israel on October 7, 2023, to fight against Hamas — he also helped the IDF acquire the drone that located Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.

Sinwar, 61, was killed in October after the drone detected a group of militants moving between buildings. The drone helped pinpoint the terrorists’ location, leading to a firefight and the terrorists splitting up before being killed. Sinwar ran alone into a building and was eventually killed.

Sinwar’s final moments were captured by another drone, which recorded him sitting with his head covered and throwing what appears to be a stick at the device. The IDF was not immediately aware that Sinwar was part of the group of militants.
