Who is Yahya Sinwar, the 'Bin Laden of Hamas' that Israel wants to find and kill in Gaza

Israel's ground offensive in Gaza is imminent. The objective is to completely dismantle the terrorist group Hamas, which last Saturday carried out a massacre with more than 1,300 victims in Israeli territory.. But Tel Aviv also has a very specific objective.

Yahya Sinwar is the current head of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and experts consider him the Osama Bin Laden of Palestine. This 60-year-old radical is considered responsible for the massacre on October 7, and Israel wants to find and kill him.

The terrorist has been arrested by Israel several times and in fact spent 24 years in Israeli prisons. He was freed in 2011, as part of a prisoner swap for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.

“Yahya Sinwar is the face of evil,” said Lieutenant Colonel Richard Hecht, spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), in statements reported by the Daily Mail.. “He's the mastermind behind this, just like Bin Laden was,” Hecht adds.

“He built his career murdering Palestinians when he understood that they were collaborators. “This is how he became known as the butcher of Khan Younis,” adds the Israeli military spokesman.

Hecht has confirmed that Israeli troops will not rest until they find and kill him. “That man and his entire team are in our sights. We will get to him, he said, although he warned: “This could take a long time.”
