Don't close your eyes, and keep a wall to your back.

Israeli troops have come close to capturing Hamas’s Gaza-based leader in the enclave’s underground tunnel network, according to reports.

Yahya Sinwar, identified by Israel as the mastermind of the Oct 7 atrocities, narrowly evaded capture by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet, the security agency, “more than once” in recent weeks, Channel 12 reported, citing unnamed security officials.

Who is Yahya Sinwar?
Why does he fight against Jewish occupation?

Yahya Sinwar - Wikipedia

"Born in the Khan Yunis refugee camp in Egyptian-ruled Gaza in 1962, his family was expelled or fled from Al-Majdal Asqalan (Ashkelon) during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.

"He finished his studies at the Islamic University of Gaza where he received a bachelor's degree in Arabic Studies.

"For orchestrating the abduction and killing of two Israeli soldiers and four Palestinians he considered to be collaborators in 1989, he was sentenced to four life sentences by Israel, of which he served 22 years until his release among 1,026 others in a 2011 prisoner exchange for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.[4]

"Sinwar was one of the co-founders of the security apparatus of Hamas.[6][7][8][9]

"In 2017, he was elected as Hamas' leader, and claimed to pursue 'peaceful, popular resistance' the following year, a position which was later abandoned.[10]

"He was re-elected as Hamas leader in 2021, and was subject to an assassination attempt by Israel that year."

Why do you support the Zionist occupation of historic Palestine?

The Evil Israel Does is the Evil Israel Gets

"I knew Dr. Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi, the co-founder of Hamas, along with Sheikh Ahmed Ismail Yassin.

"Al-Rantisi’s family were expelled to the Gaza Strip by Zionist militias from historic Palestine during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.

"He did not fit the demonized image of a Hamas leader.

"He was a soft spoken, articulate and highly educated pediatrician who had graduated first in his class at Egypt’s Alexandria University.

"As a nine-year-old boy, he witnessed executions in Khan Younis of 275 Palestinian men and boys, including his uncle, when Israel briefly occupied the Gaza Strip in 1956, the subject of Joe Sacco’s magisterial book Footnotes in Gaza.

"Scores of Palestinians were also executed by Israeli soldiers in the neighboring town of Rafah, where tens of thousands Palestinians are currently being forced to flee now that Khan Younis has come under attack."
