Yahya Sinwar named Hamas Leader: After the assassination of Ismail Haniya in Iran’s capital Tehran, the new Chief of Hamas has been elected. Now Yahya Sinwar will be the new head of Hamas, who is considered very dangerous. Sinwar is considered to be the mastermind of the massacre that took place in Israel on October 7. Under his leadership, Hamas fighters killed 1200 Israelis. About 250 people were taken hostage and brought to Gaza. Since then the IDF has been searching for him, but till now they have not been able to catch him.
Yahya Sinwar is known by many names. Some call him ‘Osama bin Laden of Hamas’, while others call him ‘the executioner of Khan Younis’. Israel calls him the ‘Hitler of terror’. He is so cruel that he has been torturing and killing even Palestinians on suspicion of betrayal to Hamas and loyalty to Israel. He openly displays guns with children. Their innocence is killed by the poison of terror. After that he blames Israel for atrocities against children. The tunnel network spread in Gaza is its strength, in which many of its secrets are buried.
‘Butcher of Khan Yunis’, also known as Bin Laden
Yahya Sinwar is also called ‘Butcher of Khan Yunis’. After the October 7 attack, Israeli media compared him to infamous terrorist Osama bin Laden. Israel Defense Forces spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Richard Hecht compared him to ‘the face of evil’. He was even described as ‘a walking dead man’. Sinwar was born in 1962 in a Palestinian refugee camp in Khan Yunis, South Gaza. This is the reason why he is also called ‘Butcher of Khan Younis’. He does not hesitate to massacre openly.
In 2015, America declared him a ‘Global Terrorist’
Yahya Sinwar was arrested by Israeli agencies in the year 1988. Yahya was 19 years old at that time. A case was tried against him and he was sentenced to four life terms. But in 2011, he was released under a deal between Israel and Hamas. In 2015, the US State Department declared him a ‘Global Terrorist’. Some time ago, France froze his assets and included him in its national sanctions list. Despite so many restrictions and protests, his influence did not diminish.
A conspiracy was hatched to commit a massacre in Israel on October 7.
Yahya Sinwar became a member of Hamas in the late 80s. But very quickly he created his own identity. After just a few years, he became one of the founders of Hamas’s internal intelligence system. It is known as Majd. He has spent more than two decades in Israeli prison for the murder of two Israeli soldiers and four Palestinians. After coming out of jail, he became more dangerous. He vowed to destroy Israel and hatched the entire conspiracy for the massacre that took place on October 7.
Yahya Sinwar was seen running in the tunnels of Gaza
To avenge this massacre, the Israeli army entered Gaza. Be it land, air or sea, a war was waged against Hamas from every side. The entire Gaza was shaken by the air strikes of the Israeli army. But Hamas’s tunnel network kept it safe. In February, the Israeli Defense Forces released a video claiming that Yahya Sinwar had fled through the tunnel with his family. On October 10, he was seen passing through the tunnel network located in Khan Yunis. His brother, wife and children were also seen with him.
Notorious tales of cruelty of Hamas Chief Yahya Sinwar
Many stories of Yahya Sinwar’s cruelty are infamous. Once he had a man buried alive on suspicion of spying for Israel. The scary thing is that he did not use a spade for this, rather he ordered the brother of the accused to dig the grave with a spoon. In the year 2015, he had given a brutal death to a Hamas commander. He was accused of homosexuality and embezzlement of money. It is said about him that he defeats even death every time. There were many rumors of his death, but he is alive.
