Hamas terrorist leader Yahya Sinwar, who is reported to have dressed as a woman in order to evade Israeli intelligence, is reportedly losing support from other terror groups in Gaza and has surrounded himself with 22 handcuffed hostages underground as human shields.
Israel officials have said they have had several opportunities to kill Sinwar but have not done so due to the threat to the hostages.
The terrorist groups Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Mujahideen Brigades, the al-Nasser Salah al-Deen Brigades, and the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, have reportedly terminated communication with Sinwar because they want any deal with Israel to include the release of Palestinian terrorists from their groups held in Israeli prisons to be released along with Hamas terrorists there, while Sinwar prioritizes Hamas terrorists, the Jewish Chronicle reported.
