IDF has released video showing Hamas leader possibly fleeing
Newsy
IDF released video purporting to show a Hamas leader and his family in Gaza tunnels shortly after Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
Israel has released rare footage showing what it says is the elusive leader of Hamas in one of the group's vast tunnel networks just days after the deadly assault in southern Israel.
Yahya Sinwar is the leader of Hamas, who the Israel Defense Forces says was the mastermind behind the October 7 attack. The IDF footage allegedly shows Sinwar and his family walking through a tunnel on October 10.
Scripps News cannot confirm that the video does in fact show Sinwar. If it is him, it would be a rare look at the leader who has so far remained out of reach of the IDF's massive man hunt.
The IDF says the tunnel shown in the video is part of this vast tunnel network that runs under parts of the southern Gazan city of Khan Yunis.
In January, the IDF released video showing another part of the same tunnel system near the Bani Suheila Cemetery.
