Hamas lost contact with Sinwar, Israel assessing if killed

[Almost Heaven]

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has disappeared, with Israel's security establishment having no information about his condition, according to Hebrew media reports on Sunday. Israel is investigating whether Sinwar was killed, the reports said.

IDF spokesperson and Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari gave a press conference early Monday, saying he neither confirms or denies the reports.

Israel's goal remains to get Sinwar, Hagari said, regardless if the reports are true or not.

This comes as the focus of the IDF shifts north, with a string of attacks conducted against Hezbollah last week removing some of the most senior military commanders in the terrorist organization. In addition, attacks attributed to Israel last week targeted Hezbollah's communication devices, killing dozens and maiming thousands.

IDF UPDATE YESTERDAY

Security sources report that Yahya Sinwar – the top Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip – has been out of contact for some time, prompting an investigation into the cause of his silence. Current assessments indicate that Sinwar is alive and using hostages as human shields. However, authorities are exploring other scenarios, particularly given Israel's recent bombing campaign targeting tunnels in areas where Sinwar was believed to be hiding.

At present, there is no evidence suggesting Sinwar is dead, apart from his prolonged silence. It's important to note that throughout the war, there have been substantial periods when Sinwar was incommunicado, either due to being on the move or deliberately choosing to cut off contact for strategic reasons.

As evil as Sinwar is, I can't help but cringe when I think of the hostages he uses as human shields when Israel is targeting him. I'm sure it weighs much more heavily on Israeli soldiers
