The Terrorist Family - The Man Behind the Giant Tunnel: Muhammad Sinwar, brother of Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip, Yahya Sinwar, is a terrorist operative who serves as head of the southern Khan Yunis Brigade in Hamas' military-terrorist wing. He is in Israel's crosshairs and is considered a target for assassination.
He reportedly escaped an assassination attempt at the beginning of Operation Guardian of the Walls. On the morning of the war that broke out on October 7, he said in an interview to Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV that "the organization has decided to put an end to all the crimes of the occupation," as he put it.
