"He was killed by a Hamas sniper" is probably "He got shot by a guy with an assault rifle but 'Hamas snipers' sounds more glorious than 'got domed without warning by someone he never saw because war is a terryfing nightmare where chaos rules and any idea of order, purpose, or progress is a lie told by historians long after the fact".

I imagine they want to make it seem like this was some harrowing Enemy at the Gates style sniper v. sniper battle

The truth is probably that best should have heavy quotes around it

They distracted him with a decoy knee

Dressed up a mannequin with a 'Press' outfit

well, in the IOF the "best" snipers are "best" at shooting unarmed adults and children in their groins. maybe he just wasn't used to people who shoot back

Strongest IOF Sniper rip-bozo-grave

vs.

Weakest Hamas Sniper based-department

He started the 1v1 and still got clapped

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 54 points 2 years ago

Curious. I would have just shot the other sniper first but maybe I'm built different.

Hamas sniper popped out of a tunnel and 360 no scoped him.

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 40 points 2 years ago

then did repetitive teabag squats on his corpse

Even better, it was the dual 1887's with the ACOG sights and slugs

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

clipped the rim of the tunnel on his way out so that he was doing his running animation in midair through the whole 360

Don't they mean he died when he was struck by firearm discharge that came from a Hamas weapon?

[–] TomBombadil@hexbear.net 47 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

A Hamas associated rifle discharge incident left him absent of life

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 51 points 2 years ago

they know he's the best because he shot 42 knees off unarmed protestors in one day

I hate this trend of random Twitter Blue tweets with no sources or links being passed around as news. Searching that name on Google literally only points to this random Twitter user. Like, who the fuck is this sniper and how the fuck did "Intelligencefnt" learn he's dead?

[–] ReadFanon@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago

This appears to be the original source, with the wording of the tweet being a direct translation:

Sputnik initially reported on it, but I think that's it. Still a bit hazy how true it is, possibly another Zionist mistaken for this guy

Edit: Ignore all that, completely different situation, no clue about this one

No scoped him while paragliding.

he was actually killed by the TF2 sniper, sources say his body was covered in a sticky yellow liquid and there were shards from a glass jar at the scene

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

95% chance he got domed by some guy with an AK and never even realized he died
