It is somewhat surprising though that they did not consider indicting Khamenei, Assad, Sinwar, or Haniyeh, isn't it?

You might want to read who warrants were being pursued against in the first part of the Prosecutor’s statement which also announced the pursuit of warrants against various Israei officials before saying things this stunningly ignorant.

On the basis of evidence collected and examined by my Office, I have reasonable grounds to believe that Yahya SINWAR (Head of the Islamic Resistance Movement (“Hamas”) in the Gaza Strip), Mohammed Diab Ibrahim AL-MASRI, more commonly known as DEIF (Commander-in-Chief of the military wing of Hamas, known as the Al-Qassam Brigades), and Ismail HANIYEH (Head of Hamas Political Bureau) bear criminal responsibility for the following war crimes and crimes against humanity committed on the territory of Israel and the State of Palestine (in the Gaza strip) from at least 7 October 2023

Sinwar and Haniyeh were subsequently killed, but an arrest warrant was issued for Al-Masri the same day as the warrants issued for Netanyahu and Gallant.


They were seeking indictments of both Sinwar and Haniyeh and then they were both killed.
