Israel's most wanted: the three Hamas leaders in Gaza it aims to kill

 

The 61-year-old Yahya Sinwar, as well as Mohammed Deif and Marwan Issa, both 58, form a secretive three-man military council.

Three men topping Israel's hit-list remain at large: Mohammed Deif, the head of Hamas' military wing, the Izz el-Deen al-Qassam Brigades; his second in command, Marwan Issa; and Hamas' leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar- who have been directing Hamas' military operations as well as leading negotiations for a prisoner-hostage swaps. They are possibly conducting all operations from bunkers beneath Gaza, news agency Reuters reported quoting three Hamas sources.

As hostilities resumed in Gaza after a seven-day truce brokered by Qatar collapsed, Israel's offensive was unlikely to stop until the three top Hamas commanders are dead or captured, the report claimed as the seven-week-old military campaign has killed more than 15,000 people in Palestine.

The 61-year-old Yahya Sinwar, as well as Mohammed Deif and Marwan Issa, both 58, form a secretive three-man military council that planned and executed the October 7 attack against Israel in which 1,200 people were killed and around 240 taken hostage- the bloodiest in Israel's 75-year history.

Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Tel Aviv's objectives are the destruction of Hamas' military capabilities, bringing the hostages back as well as ensuring that the area around Gaza will never be threatened by a repeat of the attack.
