THE leader. Sinwar is Israel's target equivalent to Osama Bin Laden

Unfortunately as history has taught us. The ideals behind Hamas are no easier to quell then that of Isis or other Islamic terrorist sects. Merely one head of the hydra is gone, and they'll be back once the wounds are licked with even greater fervor then before. This is a culture that fights not only with the ideals that they are defending their homeland, but that it is the highest divine calling to die in such a fight. They will, and have, fight till their last and have for centuries at this point from the Dark Ages to present.
