This is said to be footage of Sinwar, just before his death, filmed by an Israeli drone. I am not sure exactly what is going on here; Sinwar appears to be wounded, perhaps missing his right hand. He feebly tries to fend off the drone with a stick. I take it that he was killed immediately or shortly afterward, but I am not sure how:

Sinwar’s bodyguard, presumably also killed at the scene, reportedly had identification that described him as a UNRWA teacher:
Hi @antonioguterres 👋
This is the ID carried by Sinwar's bodyguard 👇
An “UNRWA 🇺🇳 Teacher”.

Sadly, it is entirely plausible that Sinwar’s bodyguard was employed by UNRWA, and that he “taught” Gazan children. The UNRWA is thoroughly discredited, and should be disbanded. For that matter, it is time for the entire UN to go.
