The new leader of Hamas, Yahya Sinwar, was also killed. Israel confirmed his death. Yahya Sinwar is believed to be the mastermind of the attack on October 7 last year. On October 7, Hamas launched a large-scale attack on Israel. 1,200 Israelis were killed in the attack. Only after this did Israel declare war on Hamas.
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said that Yahya Sinwar, who was responsible for the massacre and atrocities on October 7, had been killed by the Israel Defense Forces. At the same time, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that we have settled the score on October 7, but the war is still unresolved.
After the death of Ismail Haniyeh in August this year, Yahya Sinwar became the leader of Hamas. Ismail Haniyeh was killed by Israel on July 31 this year.
Yahya Sinwar goes by many names. Some call him the “Osama bin Laden of Hamas”, while others call him the “executioner of Khan Younis.” Israel calls him “The Terror Hitler.” He is so cruel that he tortures and kills Palestinians for allegedly betraying Hamas and being loyal to Israel. He openly showed guns to children. Their innocence is stifled by the poison of terror. He has since accused Israel of atrocities against children. Gaza’s strength is its network of tunnels, which hold many secrets.
“The Butcher of Khan Younis”, also known as Bin Laden
Yahya Sinwar is also known as “The Butcher of Younis Khan”. After the Oct. 7 attack, Israeli media compared him to notorious terrorist Osama bin Laden. IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Richard Hecht likened him to the “face of evil.” He has even been described as a “dead man walking”. Sinwar was born in 1962 in Khan Yunis, a Palestinian refugee camp in southern Gaza. That is why he is also known as “The Butcher of Khan Yunis”. He did not hesitate to slaughter openly.
In 2015, the United States declared him a “global terrorist”
In 1988, Israeli agencies arrested Yahya Sinwar. Yahya was 19 years old at the time. One of his cases was heard and he was sentenced to four life sentences. But he was released in 2011 under an agreement between Israel and Hamas. In 2015, the U.S. State Department declared him a “global terrorist.” Some time ago, France froze his assets and placed him on a national sanctions list. Despite so many restrictions and protests, his influence has not diminished.
On October 7, Israel orchestrated a massacre.
Yahya Sinwar became a member of Hamas in the late 1980s. But soon he created his own identity. Just a few years later, he became one of the founders of Hamas’ internal intelligence system. It is called Majid. He spent more than two decades in an Israeli prison for the murders of two Israeli soldiers and four Palestinians. After being released from prison, he became even more dangerous. He vowed to destroy Israel and masterminded the entire plot for the massacre that occurred on October 7.
Yahya Sinwar runs in Gaza tunnel
In retaliation for this massacre, Israeli troops entered Gaza. Whether on land, air or sea, all parties are waging war against Hamas. The entire Gaza Strip has been rocked by airstrikes by Israeli forces. But Hamas’s network of tunnels keeps it safe. In February, the Israel Defense Forces released a video claiming that Yahya Sinwar escaped through a tunnel with his family. On October 10, he was seen traveling through the tunnel network in Khan Younis. His brother, wife and children were also seen with him.
The infamous and cruel story of Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar
Many stories of Yahya Sinwar’s cruelty are infamous. On one occasion, he buried a man alive on suspicion of spying for Israel. Horrifyingly, instead of using a shovel, he ordered the defendant’s brother to dig the grave with a spoon. In 2015, he brutally murdered a Hamas commander. He was accused of homosexuality and money embezzlement. It is said that he defeated death every time. There are many rumors about his death, but he is still alive.
