  1. >“Sinwar’s former Shin Bet security service interrogator told The Daily Mail on Monday that the Hamas leader was carrying 25 kilograms (some 55 pounds) of dynamite in footage of him walking through a tunnel days after the October 7 massacre.”

    >“The footage, released by the Israel Defense Forces in February, showed Sinwar walking through a Gaza tunnel with several of his family members and was the first and only publicized visual of the terror leader in the wake of October 7.”

    >“Kobi Michael also claimed that Sinwar had surrounded himself with “at least 20 hostages.””

    >“”A few times we have had the chance to kill him, but if we do, he will kill all the hostages around him,” he said, predicting that Sinwar would never surrender, and is “dreaming” about remaining as the leader of Hamas and ruler of Gaza.“

    Why won’t he surrender and end the suffering of the people of Gaza? Why is he doing this instead?

    He already provided the answer: “The leaders of the occupation [Israel] should know, Oct. 7 was just a rehearsal,” stated Sinwar, according to the Maariv newspaper.”

    Surrendering and releasing the hostages would lead to peace, and it would remove the opportunity to use October 7th as a rehearsal.

    All you have to do is take him at his word, and everything he is doing makes sense. And so does doing everything possible to stop him while risking as few civilian lives as possible.

  2. Hopefully they’ll get him too. Every member of every terrorist organization needs to be gone.

    Be interesting to know what scared him that much and how he’s communicating. Hope this dude had a brush with a rigged battery powered device.

    *”Kobi Michael also claimed that Sinwar had surrounded himself with “at least 20 hostages””*

    This has to be the women and kids right? and this number of the human shield has stayed pretty constant since around July?

    *”It is believed that 97 of the 251 hostages abducted by Hamas on October 7 remain in Gaza” -*

    so does that mean the other 77 are with other groups outside of Hamas’ control?
