IDF soldiers in Gaza managed to reach the home of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in Shati shortly after he fled the scene.

The house, one of Sinwar’s four houses, was networked with 40 perimeter security cameras. In addition, the house had mirror windows for concealment and additional curtains.

A soldier noticed that the flooring in one of the rooms in the house had a bit of grout missing, which raised his suspicion that something was under there.

The soldier pressed his foot on the floor tiles and a hydraulic double door opened leading to a bunker with escape routes outside.

The forces of Division 162 are currently fighting intensively in the Jabalia area. As part of their activities in the area, the fighters eliminated hundreds of terrorists in battles while directing artillery fire and airstrikes at terrorists in the area and in trapped buildings.

The forces of the division are currently in what is defined as Hamas’s most important center of fighting, both above and below ground. The IDF states that Hamas’s headquarters and their northern command as well as military officials in the heart of Gaza city have been attacked and the IDF forces can operate with complete freedom of action.
