His high-ranking colleagues have been killed but the ‘cruel, cunning’ ideologue who masterminded the October 7 attacks has disappeared into the tunnels beneath Gaza
Of the high-value Hamas targets sought by Israel, only one remains. After the killing of Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader, and Israel’s confirmation it has killed Mohammed Deif, the military chief, Yahya Sinwar, the group’s leader in Gaza, is the last man standing.
Sinwar, a veteran of the Israeli prison system, is the mastermind of the October 7 attack on Israeli communities near Gaza and a committed ideologue who had to have known, but did not care about, the horror it would visit upon the Gazan people.
