Western intelligence sources report that Iran is outraged with Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar for dragging it into a confrontation with Israel that has inflicted significant harm on the axis of resistance it leads.
Hamas’s attack on Israel has triggered a domino effect across the Middle East, with Iran emerging as one of the main casualties of the fallout.
The “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation had the opposite of its intended effect. Instead of precipitating the collapse of Israel, it led to the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and complicated Iran’s strategic position.
Israel’s military response has established a new regional equation, significantly weakening Iran’s influence, as it lost its key proxy in Gaza and became more vulnerable to Israeli strikes.
The Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security service, operates a specialized unit dedicated to tracking down Yahya and Muhammad Sinwar, key leaders of Hamas’s military wing in the Gaza Strip. According to security sources, their elimination is only a matter of time. As the IDF increases military operations in the area, the likelihood of locating their hiding place grows.
Since Yahya Sinwar’s election as the head of Hamas’ political bureau a month ago, he has made a series of decisions that have escalated the conflict with Israel. The political leadership in Israel must now rethink its strategy toward Hamas to counter Sinwar’s recent actions and disrupt his agenda.
Hamas has released conflicting accounts regarding the deaths of six Israeli hostages in captivity, claiming it is investigating the circumstances of the incident.
Sources in the Gaza Strip allege that Yahya Sinwar ordered the murders to pressure Israel into accepting his terms. However, Hamas denies these allegations.
Hezbollah is preparing for an expansion of the conflict on the northern border following Defense Minister Yoav Galant’s statement indicating that the focus of the war is gradually shifting from the Gaza Strip to the northern front. The return of tens of thousands of Israeli evacuees to their homes along the northern border hinges on altering the existing rules of engagement with Hezbollah and establishing a stronger deterrence.
The military wing of Hamas has announced the resumption of suicide attacks within Israel. Senior security officials suggest that this announcement reflects the significant pressure on Yahya Sinwar, who is seeking to open new fronts against Israel in response to the successes of the IDF and Shin Bet in the Gaza Strip.
The election of Yahya Sinwar to his new position symbolizes Hamas’s total support for jihad against Israel and the October 7 massacre. Hamas officials claim that Yahya Sinwar will soon give a speech to mark his acceptance as head of the political bureau of Hamas.
The Hamas movement has chosen Yahya Sinwar, who is responsible for the massacre on October 7, as the head of the Political Bureau. His election challenges Israel regarding the continuation of the war in Gaza and the release of the hostages.
Senior officials in Jerusalem assert that this move underscores Hamas’ jihadist goals to destroy the State of Israel and will expedite the security forces’ efforts to eliminate Yahya Sinwar as soon as possible.
