Israeli Defense Minister: Hamas leader surrounded in bunker
Tel Aviv believes he was one of the main organizers of the October 7 militant attack
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) entered the center of Gaza. The leader of the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, Yahya Sinwar, is surrounded in his bunker, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant said.
Source. This was reported by Sky News.
He did not specify where exactly the militant leader's shelter is located.
Gallant also said that Israel does not intend to maintain a humanitarian pause until 240 hostages held by Hamas are released.
The capture of 61-year-old Sinwar has long been one of Israel's main goals. In the early 1980s, he stood at the origins of the groups that later formed the militant wing of Hamas.
Tel Aviv also believes that he was one of the main organizers of the October 7 attack.
Background. The day before, Israeli authorities said that IDF soldiers were already operating "in the heart of Gaza City."
