Yahya Al-Sinwar – the head of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the Gaza Strip – still raises the concerns of Israel, which accuses him of being primarily responsible for the attack of last October 7, and claims that it is pursuing him in the Strip with various military and intelligence capabilities to assassinate or arrest him.
After several weeks of ground incursion into the Gaza Strip and an ongoing search for the head of Hamas, the Israeli army said that its forces finally arrived at Sinwar’s house, but they found nothing inside except a doll and a shoe.
In the latest developments, the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation quoted a security source as saying, “The Israeli army already has estimates regarding Sinwar’s whereabouts.”
Three weeks before that, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that his army was besieging Sinwar’s location, while Defense Minister Yoav Galant stated, “Sinwar now hears the sounds of Israeli army vehicles and bulldozers above him, air force bombs, and the work of the Israeli army, and he will meet the nozzles of our rifles soon.” “.

Amr tweeted, saying, “In the past, the Arabs used to describe disappointment as a secret of nostalgia. Today it seems to have become: He returned with the sandal shoes.”
Yasser’s tweet stated that the Israeli army is one of the strongest armies in the region and it is certain that it knows the location of Sinwar.. “But wait…how did he not know that 20 motorcycles and 17 four-wheel-drive cars were entering on them on October 7 and were wiping the ground with the dignity of their army?!”
As for Mona, she commented: If Israel had known Sinwar’s whereabouts, it would not have waited and declared, “Rather, it would have assassinated him to end the situation and stop the war, as it imagined, because it is in great trouble as a result of the lofty statements it made.”
According to an opinion poll conducted by the newspaper “Israel Hayom” a few days ago, 66% of Israelis “want their army to assassinate Sinwar first before any other leader of the Hamas movement, while Muhammad al-Deif, commander-in-chief of the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades – the military wing of the Hamas movement – came second on the list.” Desired assassinations by 19%.
