I'm sure the finger was used to forensically ID him.

Leaked documents show US intelligence on Israel’s plans to attack Iran, sources say

“If it is true that Israeli tactical plans to respond to Iran’s attack on October 1 have been leaked, it is a serious breach,” said Mick Mulroy, former deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Middle East and a retired CIA officer.

Mulroy added that “the future coordination between the US and Israel could be challenged as well. Trust is a key component in the relationship, and depending on how this was leaked that trust could be eroded.”

The awful reality is that it must have been an American citizen who leaked this information.

What will happen to them when they are discovered?

Probably nothing

One of the Israeli news outlets said that personal documents and items had been taken to prove Sinwar’s identity, in addition to the fingerprints, DNA, and dental work to compare to their record’s while he was in prison for numerous years. Notice that the index finger is missing in addition to the watch.

Edit: The others replied while I was typing on my phone.

Hopefully, the watch ends up in a musuem along with that purse as documentation of the excess of Hamas leadership while Palestinians starved in Gaza.

From what I can tell by the strap, it looks like this was a fairly inexpensive quartz digital watch, probably a Casio or something similar. If it was a G-Shock, I'd be curious as to whether or not it was still in working order after this.

Phone access…

The best part of that drone video and pictures is he was alive. Alive to know he was going to die and who did it. He didn't die instantly or in peace.
He deserved at least that for all he's done.

Yes. He saw his terrorist organization destroyed while he hid like a rat in a sewer system.

He saw Hezbollah dismembered and taken to the cleaners without a major offensive ground operation in a matter of weeks.

He know of Iran's massive strikes against Israel defeated twice, while Israel flew to Iran undetected and launched one missile precisely hit and destroy an advanced Anti Aircraft Battery.

He then sits in a chair, wounded, beaten and tired, to reflect that his pathetic life was spent with hatred towards a people that refuse to be defeated.

You may beat us, but you will never win.

סינוואר מת. עם ישראל חי!
Sinwar met. Am Ysrael chai!

Sinwar is dead. The people of Israel live!

Given the track record of the US, it's hard for me to imagine that Israel would give them their actual plans and not some red herring to make sure that the real plans stayed secure.

January 21st can't come soon enough.
I am so sick of all this administration and its puppet masters are doing to raise up our enemies and bring down us and our allies.

Anybody up for a treasure hunt safari? Might need select fire weapons!

Senior Pentagon employee behind leak of Israeli retaliatory strike plans, Pentagon denies

A Pentagon official told Sky News Arabia that a director of one of the assistant secretary of defense's office is suspected of leaking documents with Israel's plans to retaliate for the October 1st missile strike on the country by Iran.

Ariane Tabatabai, a senior employee in the Pentagon is suspected of allegedly leaking documents consisting of Israel's plans for a retaliatory strike on Iran, Sky News Arabia reported on Tuesday citing a Pentagon official.

According to the report, the Iranian-American suspect, who has not been convicted yet, works as the director of the office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations/Low-Intensity Conflict.

The staffer in question was brought on by the Biden administration as part of the US negotiating team in nuclear negotiations with Iran but later left due to disagreements with the team leader. After leaving the team she remained in the Department of Defense as a senior policy advisor. Various Jewish publications have in the past accused the suspect of being an Iranian agent.

Arutz Sheva posted an article in August by Melanie Phillips in which she said: "Shortly before the Oct. 7 pogrom, Tabatabei was named as an agent of influence for Iran—at the heart of the U.S. government and with the highest level of security clearance—as part of an Iran Experts Initiative created by Iranian officials to bolster Tehran’s position on global security issues within the Beltway."

"She had been infiltrated into the U.S. State Department by Robert Malley, who was the point man on Iran under both the Obama and Biden administrations until he was removed in June 2023 following a still unexplained “mishandling of classified materials.”

The official explained that the Intelligence and Armed Services Committees committees in Congress had been informed of the suspect's identity due to her "top security clearance that gives her the right to view highly classified information."

On Tuesday, the FBI announced that it is investigating the leak of Israel's plans to retaliate for the October 1st missile strike on the country by Iran.

“The FBI is investigating the alleged leak of classified documents and working closely with our partners in the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community,” the FBI said in a statement. “As this is an ongoing investigation, we have no further comment.”

When asked about the matter and if anyone in the department has had their security clearance limited as a result of the investigation, Pentagon Press Secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder stated: "This investigation is in its first few days and it's important to let the investigation run its course. To my knowledge, this official is not a subject of interest and the department remains fully committed to supporting the investigation."

Read her wiki page. Isn’t the first time she’s been accused of being linked to Iran.

Tantamount to treason as far as I am concerned. Death Penalty offense if there is to be justice in the world.

Let the mossad have her.

CONFIRMED: Hezbollah's 'new leader' met his 72 virgins

By KATHERINE LAWTON

Israel has killed Hezbollah's 'next leader' in a fatal blitz on a hidden bunker in the latest blow for the Iran-backed terror group.

Hashem Safieddine was killed in an Israeli airstrike in southern Beirut in early October, the Israeli military said today.

Safieddine was a powerful cleric within the Hezbollah ranks and was anticipated to succeed Hassan Nasrallah.

According to Israel, Safieddine was killed during their airstrikes in early October within a southern suburb of Beirut.

About 25 other Hezbollah leaders were also reportedly killed during the airstrike.

As the head of Hezbollah's executive council, Safieddine oversaw the group's political affairs. He also sat on the Jihad Council, where he helped manage military affairs.

His key role in the terror group made him a prime target for Israel.

Safieddine was groomed for the leadership role by Nasrallah before he was also killed in an Israeli precision airstrike on Beirut.

He wore a black turban denoting descent from Islam's Prophet Mohammed, and his physical resemblance to Nasrallah - who led the Lebanese Shi'ite group for more than three decades - also marked him as a favourite for the succession.

Safieddine hails from a prominent Lebanese Shi'ite family, and was born in the country's predominantly Shi'ite south.

He studied at religious seminaries in the Iranian city of Qom before returning to Lebanon in the 1990s to assume leadership responsibilities in the group.

Safieddine maintained strong ties to Hezbollah's backers in Iran.

His son, Rida, was married to the daughter of the late Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, head of Iran's Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force, until he was killed by a U.S. drone strike in Baghdad in 2020.

His brother, Abdullah, serves as Hezbollah's representative in Tehran.

As executive council chief, Safieddine played a role some likened to that of prime minister of a government, responsible for an array of Hezbollah institutions involved in health care, education, culture, and construction, and other activities.

He led efforts to rebuild the Hezbollah-controlled southern suburbs of Beirut following the group's 2006 war with Israel, when swathes of the area were flattened by Israeli airstrikes.

As a “policy advisor,” I’m trying to imagine what her need was to know something like the details of an ally’s military operational planning. Is this yet one more example of the failure of defense officials to follow that most fundamental of security principles? How many times must that be demonstrated for it to start sinking in?

[QUOTE] According to Article III, Section 3, Clause 1 of the Constitution, treason against the United States is defined as:
Levying war against the United States
- Adhering to the enemies of the United States
- Giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States
- To be convicted of treason, there must be testimony from two witnesses to the same overt act or a confession in open court.

18 USC Section 793 applies to activities such as gathering, transmitting to an unauthorized person, or losing, information pertaining to the national defense, and to conspiracies to commit such offenses.

Section 794 applies to: (1) persons who deliver, or attempt to deliver, information pertaining to the national defense of the United States to agents or subjects of foreign countries, with intent or reason to believe that it is to be used to the injury of the United States or to the advantage of a foreign nation; (2) wartime espionage; and (3) conspiracy to commit espionage.

Seems like espionage not treason.

These two seem to fit close enough for me.

In league with an entity we have deemed to be terrorist and an enemy of the US covers “Adhering to the enemy”

Providing classified information to an our, and our allies enemy of our allies plans seems to “give aid”.


“Treason” - “Espionage”. “Tomato” - “Tomahto”

So long as she is executed, I won’t quibble…

These were strongly emphasized:

1. The appropriate clearance.

and

2. THE NEED TO KNOW.

The answer to your question: It sure looks that way.
