Hamas Leader Losing Support From Other Gaza Terrorists, Surrounds Himself With Hostages: Report

Hamas terrorist leader Yahya Sinwar, who is reported to have dressed as a woman in order to evade Israeli intelligence, is reportedly losing support from other terror groups in Gaza and has surrounded himself with 22 handcuffed hostages underground as human shields.

Israel officials have said they have had several opportunities to kill Sinwar but have not done so due to the threat to the hostages.

The terrorist groups Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Mujahideen Brigades, the al-Nasser Salah al-Deen Brigades, and the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, have reportedly terminated communication with Sinwar because they want any deal with Israel to include the release of Palestinian terrorists from their groups held in Israeli prisons to be released along with Hamas terrorists there, while Sinwar prioritizes Hamas terrorists, the Jewish Chronicle reported.

The Chronicle also reported that Sinwar hopes to heighten terrorist activity in Judea and Samaria to distract the Israel Defense Forces from pursuing Hamas in Gaza. Intelligence sources say Sinwar has told top Hamas financier Zaher Jabarin to activate those terrorists.

“We have actually been minutes away more than once,” Shalom Ben Hanan of Shin Bet said. “As we have discovered through other elimination operations, Sinwar will not be sitting in underground tunnels or special underground zones for more than 24 to 36 hours at a time. He knows we can find such underground locations through advanced technology. And he knows if a mistake is made or we find sources to tell us where he is, he needs to be on the move – to avoid that mistake becoming fatal for him. We are looking for him using technology and human intelligence, and believe he is likely to be hiding in plain sight.”

“Israeli assets inside Gaza are said to be equipped with instant DNA kits, which they deploy on suspects by taking a drop of blood during a seemingly innocent handshake. This can be analyzed in moments and his identity confirmed before he can move location,” Express reported.

Roughly a week ago, Sinwar reportedly insisted that any deal with Israel include a guarantee that he would not be assassinated. “Sinwar emphasizes that the security of his life and well-being must be ensured,” an Egyptian official told Ynet.

Betty Lahat, a former warden of Hasharon Prison when Sinwar was there, said he was “adversarial and cruel… Before his arrest he led by fear and terror. He’d dig holes, throw in people he suspected were against him and pour cement on them while they still lived. In prison he also sent out people to hurt those he didn’t like. But he himself never got his hands dirty.”

“He would send prisoners to stab guards and rile things up, but always behind the scenes,” she continued. “He’d take some sucker, tell him ‘Go stab a jailer’ and then say of him ‘The man’s crazy, he has nothing to lose.’ He never stood up and took responsibility or led the prisoners. On the contrary. When there were investigations after incidents he organized, he’d tremble with fear. Hide behind others.”
