Hamas leader Sinwar said to have fled north Gaza by hiding in humanitarian convoy

[Beastly Boy]

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar fled northern Gaza at the beginning of the fighting by hiding in a humanitarian convoy heading southward, the Kan public broadcaster says citing an Israeli official familiar with the details.

Sinwar escaped Gaza City and headed toward south Gaza’s Khan Younis in a vehicle that provided “humanitarian cover,” the report says, adding that more precise details of the vehicle are barred from publication at this point.

The report adds that Israel’s assessment is that Sinwar is still in Khan Younis, or rather in one of the tunnels that run underneath it.

1. that will shut down huanitarian aid convoys.

I thought the head honchos hung out in Qatar?

3. Of course Israel was labeled anti-humanitarian when this was predicted. n/t

5. The head honchos do hang out in Qatar.

But I'm sure there's a chain of command, because they have to have somebody in Gaza telling the rank and file what to do.

2. How many of these "humanitarian" agencies are aiding Hamas? nt

18. Many are complicit at best.

4. Truth or Hamas tale to interfere with aid?

[Celerity]

8. it is an Israeli public broadcaster (Kan) citing an Israeli official familiar with the details

[Hermit-The-Prog]

10. Thanks. That still leaves the question open, though.

6. I can't help but wonder why more precise details of the vehicle are barred from publication

at this time. Just like Netanyahu wants the US to and the EU to take on Houthis for targeting merchant ships with alleged Israeli links. Alleged, yeah right.

7. All the "details" are odd. Obviously it's important to keep info to minimum for security purposes but

it’s reported by KAN (Israeli Broadcasting Station) quoting an Israeli official “familiar with details” and Sinwar is conveniently in a tunnel underneath Khan Younis where terrible destruction is already being carried out. And “humanitarian cover” is included for good measure.

Could be true but it sure sounds like every touch point the pr machine is trying to hit. Sure hope it’s not another case of the story being less than accurate like all those Hamas leaders surrendering that wasn’t exactly what the Israeli military were stating.

Will be curious how this one plays out.

11. Some are accusing the those providing humanitarian aid of protecting Hamas. When actually that

is what Netyanhu does.

[Nanjeanne]

12. Since no independent media is allowed into Gaza and Israel controls all their media and many journalists

who were working in Gaza have been killed - it’s quite difficult to know the truth but eventually it will come out.

I posted a fascinating (to me) article about how AI was being used to create “power targets” in Israel — written by an Israeli journalist who had seven sources inside the military. He said Israeli journalist’s articles had to be vetted by the military - and what the article talked about was frightening. I kept thinking if THIS has been ok’d how much more frightening would it be if there was no approval needed to print.

Of course, it didn’t get much traction on DU because it was a long and detailed investigative piece — not a tweet! 😂

15. Was that the Netanyahu must be destroyed? That one was amazing.

I've been sick this week and that was the one I saw today.

The article is long and the interview with the journalist is also fascinating and he explains about the sources.

17. Heartbreaking in so many ways.

9. Wonder how this will get blamed on Israel

[LexVegas]

14. Your answer is in this thread. nt

20. Not even guerilla warfare. They brought hell to music festival

and went after folks most likely to be inclined to sympathize with Palestinians.

"Creative"

"Opportunistic"

"Asymmetrical warfare"

Some folks say...

They must build school shooters statues or at least stand in awe of their brilliance then.

I reckon, the valiant rebels scored a victory against the evil empire's all powerful festival!

People are completely insane.

22. Rec.. Excellent heart crushing point..

They brought hell to music festival and went after folks most likely to be inclined to sympathize with Palestinians.

I hope they catch this murdering filth.
