What do Gazans really think about Yahya Sinwar?

Video released by the Israeli army showing Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar just moments before his death, dressed in a keffiyeh and fatigues, flinging a stick in defiance at a quadracopter drone, and fighting to his last breath, galvanized international support for Palestinian armed resistance to Israel - and drove a surge of respect for Sinwar. As the Harris-Biden administration trumpeted Sinwar’s killing as an opportunity for peace, Western outlets like the New York Times quoted anonymous Palestinians celebrating his death. To get a better sense of what Palestinians in Gaza really thought about Sinwar, The Grayzone sent a reporter into the streets of Khan Younis, near where the late leader was raised, to ask what locals with no affiliation with Hamas to comment on his death and the legacy he left behind.
