Israeli forces “know exactly” where Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is but are hesitant to destroy him with a devastating attack because he is surrounded by Israeli hostages who are being used as “human shields,” he told the Israeli press on Monday.
According to Israel Hayom and Kansky Radio, the IDF has known Sinwar’s “exact location” in the Gaza Strip for some time, but they also know that there are “several Israeli hostages” in the same location. why haven’t they tried to kill him yet. Recall that Sinwar is the main target of the Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip, as he was the “mastermind” of the October 7 terrorist attack, which killed more than 1,200 Israelis, most of whom were civilians.
Meanwhile, Israel on Monday killed a prominent Hezbollah commander in southern Lebanon, raising fears of an escalating conflict on the northern border. Wissam al-Tawil, second-in-command of Radwan’s elite forces, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on the car he was riding in in the village of Majdal Selm, near the Israeli border. “His death is a very painful blow for Hezbollah and there will certainly be a response,” an Israeli security source quoted by Reuters said. Hezbollah fired more than 60 rockets into northern Israel on Saturday in retaliation for the death of Hamas number two Salah al-Arouri, who was killed in Beirut last Tuesday in an attack attributed to Israel.
