Yahya Sinwar, Hamas leader
Agency report
Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is “hiding” in a Gaza bunker after being cut off from other members of the terrorist group, Israel has claimed.
Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said Sinwar is “without contact with his associates” as Israeli forces continued their offensive in the Gaza Strip.
The military wing of Hamas, which has ruled the small, densely populated enclave for 16 years, said its fighters were inflicting heavy losses and damage on advancing Israeli forces.
It had no immediate comment on the possible fate of Sinwar.
The reports came after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israeli forces had “encircled Gaza City”, in the enclave’s north, and had “destroyed” Hamas headquarters, tunnels and bases.
Major General Yaron Finkelman said: “For the first time in decades, IDF is fighting in the heart of Gaza City. At the heart of terrorism.”
He added: “Every day and every hour the forces are killing militants.
