Israel releases footage of Hamas leader in Gaza tunnel: ‘We will capture him’
"This video of Sinwar is a result of the manhunt we are conducting for him. The hunt will not stop until we capture him, dead or alive," IDF said.
The IDF released footage of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in a tunnel in Gaza, allegedly showing him fleeing with his wife and children.
“Sinwar was seen fleeing with his children and one of his wives through the tunnel network, led by his brother, Ibrahim Sinwar. This footage, taken on October 10th at the beginning of the war, shows him escaping with his family underground through a tunnel to one of the pre-built safe complexes,” IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari said.
Hagari also said that IDF forces reached a compound where Sinwar was staying underground with other senior operatives: “The senior Hamas operatives are staying in the compound in good conditions. They have food and bathrooms, alongside safes with personal fortunes amounting to millions of dollars.”
“Hamas leaders, wherever they are hiding, should know they are on borrowed time.”

“This video of Sinwar is a result of the manhunt we are conducting for him. The hunt will not stop until we capture him, dead or alive,” he added.
Sinwar hasn’t been seen since October 7, but an Israeli woman who was later released from captivity in Gaza as part of a ceasefire deal said she met him in a tunnel.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
