After a career in the shadows, spent in Israeli prisons and the internal security apparatus of Hamas, Yahya Sinwar rose to lead the Islamist movement in the Gaza Strip.
Now, Israeli officers say, he is a “dead man walking”.
Sinwar stands accused of masterminding the group’s October 7 attacks, the worst in Israel’s history, which officials say left around 1,200 people dead and about 240 dragged back to Gaza as hostages.
