The final moments Sinwar's death and the trainee soldiers who found him

The Israeli soldiers who came across Yahya Sinwar and his two bodyguards were trainee squad commanders from an infantry school unit. The fact that it was a platoon from the infantry commanders and combat training school (Bislamach) that found the Hamas commander and mastermind of the 7 October attacks is all the more ironic in light of the fruitless year-long manhunt by the cream of Israel's special forces and intelligence units.

Music review The Cure are back - and worth the wait

The latter-day history of the Cure is a peculiar thing. They ended the 90s in apparent disarray, yet the 21st century found them more revered than ever. You couldn't move for younger artists paying homage: everyone from heavy metal bands to dance producers seemed to want to collaborate with the band's frontman, Robert Smith. It was a kind of renaissance, but the Cure seemed unable to fully capitalise on it. They always drew vast crowds, but an album to rank alongside their back catalogue's high points proved elusive, and you wondered how many people were at their gigs to hear stuff from their eponymous 2004 album or 2008's 4:13 Dream, both sprawling and uneven. Thereafter, gigs came flecked with new songs but the release schedule fell silent.
