The Israeli army has surrounded the home of the head of the Islamist Hamas in the Gaza Strip. At least that’s what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday evening. Yahya Sinwar could escape, “but it’s only a matter of time before we find him.” According to reports, his house is in Khan Younis.
Khan Younis is the largest city in the south of the closed Gaza Strip. The Israeli army recently expanded its attacks and surrounded the city (see video above). According to her own statement, she is currently advancing deeper into Khan Younis, a Hamas stronghold. Experts suspect that the terrorist organization and thousands of its members may have entrenched themselves in the extensive network of tunnels under the Gaza Strip. Leader Sinwar is also said to be underground. It is the army’s job to kill him, Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari said on Wednesday evening.
Sinwar was convicted by an Israeli court in 1988 for the murder of four suspected collaborators and two Israeli soldiers. He subsequently spent more than twenty years in prison. In 2011, he was one of more than a thousand Palestinian prisoners released in exchange for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who was kidnapped in the Gaza Strip. Since 2017, he has been the head of Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Since the massacre by Hamas and other groups in the Israeli border area, Sinwar has topped the charts. About 1,200 people were killed and others were taken hostage to the Gaza Strip.
Hundreds of targets were attacked
According to the military, hundreds of targets belonging to the terrorist organization Hamas have been attacked since Tuesday’s raid on the city. These are bitter battles. The Quassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, say they are taking part in the fighting with Israeli forces. On Tuesday, eight Israeli soldiers were killed or wounded and 24 enemy military vehicles were destroyed. The Israeli army said on Tuesday that two soldiers had been killed, making it 83 since the start of the ground offensive.
Weapon cache discovered in the north
Meanwhile, in the north, the Israeli army has discovered a huge weapons cache near a hospital and a school. There were sometimes hundreds of rocket-propelled grenades and rocket-propelled grenades there, it was said. It is “one of the largest weapons caches” discovered in the Gaza Strip to date. The armed forces say they have taken the weapons for partial examination. Some were said to have been destroyed on the spot. “The entire terrorist infrastructure was located right next to residential buildings, in the heart of the civilian population. “This is further evidence of the terrorist organization Hamas’s cynical use of Gaza residents as human shields,” a military spokesman said.
