Recently, according to a report by the Russian Star News Agency, the Israeli army's Mossad intelligence bureau pointed out that Sinwar has withdrawn from the Rafah area, and it is said that under the escort of bodyguards, he broke through the Israeli army's blockade line, but this also allowed the Israeli army to discover a new stronghold, and Sinwar is very likely to be hiding in the city of Khan Younis, about 8 kilometers away from Rafah.
Key leaders of Hamas and Israel's number one target
From the beginning of the Gaza campaign, the Israeli military wanted to end it quickly, so they launched a bigger offensive every time, capturing the thief before the king, and their primary target was Sinwar, the main founder of Hamas's downward structure.
Speaking of Sinwar, he was first born in the refugee camp of Khan Younis in Gaza, and because of the war in the Middle East, he suffered a lot since he was a child, which also made him particularly hate the behavior of the Israeli army.
When he went to college, he joined the Muslim Brotherhood, another conservative religious group that grew up and led Sinwar as its director.
In 1982, Sinwar was arrested by the Israeli army for his Islamic demonstrations, fled for several years, engaged in similar activities again, and was caught again, but this time his fate changed.
Yassin, the founder of Hamas, admired the young man so much that after learning about his experience, he arranged for him to work in his organization, and through his hard work, he also managed to rise to a high position.
Within Hamas, there is an organization to deal with people associated with Israel, and the founder of this is Sinwar, who is extremely cruel in his qualifications, and is also known as the "Butcher of Khan Younis" by the Israeli army.
In 1988, he was captured by the Israeli army, which sentenced him to four life terms for the murder of numerous soldiers, but after 22 years in captivity, Sinwar was released.
The reason is that the Israeli side asked for an exchange with a hostage of the Israeli army, and the liberated Sinwar was honored as a hero by Hamas, and he directly became one of Hamas's senior leaders.
Israel pursued Sinwar and launched a large-scale encirclement and suppression
In 2015, Sinwar was officially listed as a global terrorist by the United States, and in a video conversation in 2022, Sinwar pointed out various activities between the United States and Israel, and encouraged people to attack Israel by all means.
It was only then that Israel realized that it had made a serious mistake by exchanging it for hostages. In today's Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
The Israeli prime minister has repeatedly warned Hamas to lay down its arms and surrender to Israel, but Hamas, represented by Sinwar, simply ignored it and instead offered to let the Israeli army release more than 7,000 hostages.
It is conceivable that Israel's obsession with hunting Sinwar has also led to the fact that as long as the Israeli army finds a little bit of information about Sinwar, it will send a large number of troops to strangle it.
According to the investigation of the Israeli Army's Intelligence Bureau, after the Israeli army found out that Sinwar was in Rafah City, they brought a large number of men to surround it, but Sinwar still managed to escape.
The reason is that under the protection of the guards around him, although he has escaped, it is very likely that Sinwar is located in the Khan Younis area, which can be found from the surrounding cities and traces.
According to the Israeli army's speculation, Sinwar may be hidden deep in the underground tunnels of Khan Younis, and they are currently conducting a large-scale search of the city, leaving no suspicious locations undetected.
In fact, there are many ways for the Israeli army to search for Sinwar, such as drone bombing, prisoner confessions, and peripheral communications, and in the eyes of the Israeli army, it may only be a matter of time before Sinwar is captured.
Sinwar's plan to hide, covert communication and will to fight
The Wall Street Journal of the United States recently issued a statement on Sinwar's escape from Rafah, saying that so far, although Israel has deduced that Sinwar may be hiding in an underground tunnel, it is not completely sure.
Through continuous blasting, Israel has blown up about 20 per cent of its underground tunnels, and it has taken a lot of time just to find them.
Therefore, it will take at least a few years for the Israeli army to destroy all the underground passages, and from this point of view, Israel is actually in a stalemate.
Some people even speculate that Sinwar was actually fully prepared for this hiding, not only with many bodyguards with him, but also without any means of communication.
This also makes it difficult for Israeli scouts to find out his location information, and if they pass on the news, they will most likely rely on heralds and the like.
In fact, Hamas's communications are not always accessible to the Israeli side, and according to US news reports, Hamas's network in Khan Younis is not actually mobile phones or the Internet, and there are underground cables.
It would be futile to threaten or exchange Sinwar's whereabouts with hostages, because in the current situation, the Hamas side can be described as very stubborn and has a deep hatred for Israel.
According to public information, there are about 2,000 Hamas members in Khan Younis, and tens of thousands in Rafah.
These people are hiding from the Israeli army's reconnaissance in a covert way, which also hinders the search for Sinwar to a certain extent.
The covert threat to the Israeli army: Hamas's intelligence forces
The number of Hamas alone is as high as 1,000 in Khan Younis, and in the underground tunnels, there are still a large number of refugees, the number is more than 10,000, and the Israeli army is completely passive.
Sinwar's subordinates are carefully selected, which is why he was able to escape Rafah under cover, and the entire organization has full experience in actual confrontation and intelligence acquisition.
In the case of Hamas's shooting of Hoffman, after being tasked with it, the intelligence agents followed him for two months until they learned that the other party was vulnerable and quickly attacked and killed Hoffman at the Shifa hospital.
According to the investigation afterwards, this intelligence agency was not ordinary, but was born after a long and rigorous training under the responsibility of Iran's "Quds Al-Sharif" army.
Therefore, it is conceivable that the strength of Sinwar's troops this time, although it cannot immediately engage in a fire fight with the Israeli army, is secretly planning, which obviously makes Israel feel more uneasy.
If the time drags on, the chances of victory for Israel will be smaller, and the idea of completely eliminating Hamas can only stop there.
