The IDF estimates that in the coming week the pressure exerted by Division 98 will lead to the disbandment of two of the four battalions of the Khan Yunis Brigade. These battalions protect the top of the Hamas leadership, headed by Yahya Sinwar, Muhammad Daf, and Marwan Issa, and their disbandment will increase the chances of locating their hiding place.
IDF sources "We estimate that once Sinwar realizes that the IDF is closer to him than ever, he will find a way to speed up negotiations with Israel for the release of hostages and the cessation of hostilities. "The fact that Sinwar is releasing information about the abductees without compensation indicates the pressure he is under," said a senior military official. According to him, there is a growing appreciation that Sinwar surrounds himself with hostages who serve as a human shield for him.
"Everyone asks why there are 'only' dozens of terrorists killed every day.
This is an achievement," said the official. "Hamas is afraid to fight.
Some of the terrorists are hiding, and it is difficult to get them out of the hiding apartments, shelters and underground, and some fled to Rafah.
What is important right now is to deprive them of the infrastructure that helped them protect themselves from our maneuvering."
There is a behavior when he realizes that he is being closed.

According to the sources, with the exposure of the underground system in Khan Yunis where Sinwar is found, which includes dozens of meters underground, it will be destroyed.
At this point Sinwar will be much more exposed to Israeli intelligence and that may be his breaking point.

At the same time, in recent days the Southern Command and the coordinator of government operations in the territories managed to move a very large number of Palestinians from the western part of the city of Khan Yunis to the shelter area in Moasi despite threats from Hamas operatives. The IDF reinforces the claim that there is a high level of trust between the IDF and the Palestinian public.
When there is a message on the Almonsk website in addition to announcements and messages in the media, they listen.
It pisses off Hamas that they see how they are stealing the reins from it.
To regain control he uses violence and weapons against his own people."
