Navy SEAL who shot Osama Bin Laden issues stern warning to Joe Biden and his successor after Israel eliminated Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar
A Navy SEAL involved in the attack that killed Osama Bin Laden claims Israel is “showing us how to win wars” by taking out Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
Retired Chief Warrant Officer Rob O’Neill said Israel’s strategy to target leaders of the terrorist group was the right one.
Israel said Sinwar was killed Thursday when he was cornered in a building in Gaza by Israeli soldiers who spotted Hamas soldiers inside.
After a firefight, a tank shell reportedly hit the structure and caused it to collapse.

Graphic images then circulated online claiming to show the body of the Hamas leader surrounded by Israeli soldiers.
“What Israel is doing now is showing us how to win a war. They’re taking out the top leaders. They will continue to do it,” O’Neill said Newsmax.
“And they’re proving that to everyone, even now our president will say, ‘Well, now that he’s dead, we can work on a ceasefire.’
“You don’t let someone start a war and then whine about a ceasefire… Israel “has done a great job, and I couldn’t be more proud.”

O’Neill said killing Sinwar “takes away a lot.” [Hamas’] capabilities’ and was a major morale boost for Israel a year after the terrorist group’s massacre on October 7, 2023.
“This is huge for them. And I love that they were able to do it with soldiers. So the last thing Yahya probably saw was the Israeli flag,” he said.
O’Neill said Iran is still the biggest enemy, but that “our so-called ally in Qatar” must round up the Hamas leaders hiding on its soil and hand them over to Israel.
The former special forces agent felt the same way about the September 11 conspirators, 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 spared 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.

The 48-year-old served his country in 400 combat missions over 16 years and was involved in perhaps the most famous military attack in American history that led to the death of al-Qaeda’s founder.
O’Neill said the deal 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 anger when news of the plea deal emerged, on a day when more evidence of Saudi Arabia’s complicity in 9/11 was revealed in a New York courtroom.
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 identified himself as the man who fired the fatal shots.
