Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar was killed by Israeli forces while hiding in a bunker in Gaza’s Khan Yunis. Some video footage of this bunker has surfaced, people are quite surprised to see it. Inside this tunnel were food supply packets from the UN, large amounts of cash, perfume, personal shower and other facilities. From this it can be estimated how comfortably Sinwar was living inside the bunker. It is being told that this footage is from February this year, in which an IDF soldier with a mask on his face is seen passing through a residential building. It also shows how the bunker is stocked with kitchen items, items distributed by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) and millions of dollars in cash.
Yahya Sinwar was said to be the mastermind behind the deadly October 7 attack on Israel. He spent much time in the bunker in the early days of the war before escaping to Rafa. Sinwar became the head of Hamas after the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh. He was killed in an Israeli military operation on October 16. While sharing the video, Israel’s Foreign Ministry’s He was using the citizens of Gaza as human shields, while he himself remained hiding underground like a coward.
Was Sinwar hiding in the tunnel or was he killed while fighting?
Three days after Sinwar’s death, Israeli forces dropped leaflets in southern Gaza. These leaflets showed another picture of Sinwar, in which he was lying dead on a chair. His finger was cut and his head was bleeding. It was written in the pamphlet, ‘Sinwar has ruined your life. He hid in a dark place and was killed while running away in fear.’ At the same time, Iran, the main supporter of Hamas, went a step further and compared Sinwar’s death to the death of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, considered Iran’s staunch enemy. A statement issued by Iran’s UN mission said that Saddam was dragged out of the underground bunker. Despite being armed, he was pleading. Sinwar, on the other hand, died fighting the enemy.
