Israeli spies believe that Mohammed Sinwar, a Hamas chief who was declared dead in 2014, is actually alive and has been living in the tunnels beneath Gaza. According to sources close to Israeli intelligence, Sinwar was closely involved in planning the October 7 attacks on Israel. One former Mossad counter-terror chief even stated that Sinwar was “100%” part of the core team behind the attacks. Sinwar’s brother, Yahya Sinwa, is the leader of Hamas in Gaza and is considered Israel’s most-wanted terrorist.
In 2014, Hamas declared Mohammed Sinwar dead, even releasing a photo of him lying on his back with blood around him. Since then, he has not been seen in public, except for a silhouette appearance in an interview with Al Jazeera Arabic in May of last year. The Israeli military has recently revealed that they are once again hunting for him.
