After Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the death of Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind behind the October 7, 2023 attacks on Israel, new facts have emerged.
Sinwar, the most wanted man in all of the Middle East, was killed in Rafah, Gaza during a chance encounter with Israeli forces.
Now, the IDF has revealed footage from February showcasing Sinwar’s secret luxury bunker in Khan Younis, where he reportedly spent the first half of the war before fleeing to Rafah.
The video reveals a stark contrast between Sinwar’s living conditions and those of Gaza civilians and Hamas fighters.
According to IDF officials, the bunker was equipped with a fully stocked kitchen from the corrupt United Nations Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA) food rations, further proving that Hamas has been openly diverting aid meant for Gaza’s nearly two million residents.
The 61-year-old Hamas leader’s personal quarters also contained a large safe reportedly holding millions of shekels, the Israeli currency.
An unnamed IDF soldier stated, “He lives here in a good way, with all his millions, while the civilians above ground are living in poverty and are starving.”

The IDF also released timestamped footage allegedly showing Sinwar’s wife fleeing into a tunnel on October 6, 2023, carrying what appears to be a luxury handbag valued at $32,000.
IDF Spokesperson Avichay Adraee commented on social media, “While Gaza residents have no money for food, we see many examples of Yahya Sinwar and his wife’s special love for money.”
هل زوجة السنوار دخلت معه إلى النفق في السادس من أكتوبر وبحوزتها حقيبة لشركة بيركين التي تقدر كلفتها بنحو 32 ألف دولار؟! أترك لكم التعليق.

The elimination of Sinwar marks a significant victory in Israel’s ongoing battle to destroy the radical Islamic terrorists in Gaza.
The IDF has stated that they are actively identifying and targeting potential successors to Sinwar within the Hamas leadership.
