A Navy SEAL involved in the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden claims Israel is “showing how to win wars” by eliminating Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
Retired Chief Petty Officer Rob O’Neill said Israel’s strategy of attacking the terrorist group’s leaders was the right one.
Israel said Sinwar was killed on Thursday when he was cornered in a building in Gaza by Israeli soldiers who saw Hamas soldiers inside.
After an exchange of gunfire, a tank shell was said to have hit the structure and collapsed it.
Retired Senior Warrant Officer Rob O’Neill said Israel’s strategy of attacking the terrorist group’s leaders was the right one.
Graphic images purporting to show the Hamas leader’s body with Israeli soldiers surrounding him then circulated online.
‘What Israel is doing now is showing us how to win a war. They are eliminating the main leaders. They’re going to continue to do it,” O’Neill said. newsmax.
“And they’re showing everyone, even right now, that our president will say, ‘Well, now that he’s dead, we can work on a ceasefire.'”
“You don’t allow someone to start a war and then complain about a ceasefire… Israel “did a great job and I couldn’t be more proud.”
Israeli soldiers surround a corpse that resembles Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
O’Neill said killing Sinwar “takes away a lot of (Hamas’s) capabilities” and was a huge morale boost for Israel a year after the terrorist group’s Oct. 7, 2023, massacre.
‘This is huge for them. And I love that they were able to do it with soldiers. So the last thing Yahya saw was probably the Israeli flag,” he said.
O’Neill said Iran remained the biggest enemy, but that “our so-called ally in Qatar” needed to capture Hamas leaders hiding on its soil and hand them over to Israel.
The former special forces agent felt the same way about the 9/11 plotters, telling DailyMail.com in August that they should have been executed years ago.
O’Neill added that he would have carried out the death penalty himself and criticized the plea deal that saved their lives.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the 2001 plot that killed nearly 3,000 people, and two accomplices, Walid Bin Attash and Mustafa al-Hawsawi, accepted life sentences to avoid a lengthy criminal trial and the death penalty.
Rob O’Neill, the Navy SEAL who shot and killed Osama Bin Laden, has issued a withering response to the plea deal offered to the 9/11 hijackers.
The 48-year-old served his country in 400 combat missions over 16 years and was involved in arguably the most famous military raid in American history that led to the death of Al-Qaeda’s founder.
O’Neill said the settlement was a slap in the face to the families of the 2,657 American victims who waited 23 years for justice.
Relatives of the victims reacted with fury when news of the plea deal emerged, a day when more evidence of Saudi Arabia’s complicity in 9/11 was revealed in a New York court.
O’Neill, a Montana native, and members of SEAL Team Six stormed bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, on May 2, 2011, and cornered him.
He claims he shot the world’s most wanted man in the head, ending a global manhunt that had consumed the West for years.
He came forward in 2014 and named himself as the man who fired the fatal shots.

The Defense Department says Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his fellow attackers have signed a pretrial agreement that will allow them to avoid the death penalty. In the photo: Walid Bin Attash (left) and Mustafa al-Hawsawi (right)
