Hamas announces that its leader will soon send a message to the Palestinian people and the entire world

September 16 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) announced on Sunday night that its leader, Yahya Sinwar, will “soon” send a message “to the Palestinian people and the entire world” just one month after the first anniversary of the attacks perpetrated by the Islamist group and other Palestinian militias against Israel, which left 1,200 dead and 240 hostages, and which subsequently unleashed an Israeli offensive against the Gaza Strip that has already left more than 41,200 dead.

“There will soon be a direct message from Yahya Sinwar to the Palestinian people and the entire world,” reads a message from Osama Hamdan, a senior Hamas official, reported by the Palestinian daily ‘Filastín’, which is close to the group.

Sinwar, considered the mastermind of the attacks on Israel on October 7, is one of the main exponents of the hardline wing of Hamas. After the death of the group’s previous leader, Ismail Haniyeh, in an attack in Tehran blamed on Israel, he has taken over the leadership of the group, although he had already led the organization in Gaza since 2017. Since the beginning of the conflict, he has been in an unknown location in the Gaza Strip, while Israel has even published images of the tunnels under the enclave in which it claims to have identified him.
