The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) successfully dismantled a network of Hamas tunnels, including the underground office of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. This action, carried out on Thursday, targeted an underground tunnel complex utilized as a hiding place by Sinwar and Mohammed Deif, the orchestrators of the October 7 Hamas incident in southern Israel.
The IDF, having received intelligence about the presence of Sinwar and Deif in the underground network, conducted a controlled demolition. The elite Yahalom combat engineering unit and the 401st Armoured Brigade played a pivotal role in executing the operation.
The pursuit of Yahya Sinwar intensified after Israel's Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant, publicly called for his assassination. The IDF remains committed to addressing security concerns and disrupting threats posed by individuals involved in acts of violence.
