Yahya Sinwar, one of Hamas top militia leaders, has yet to be located by Israel forces.

While in one ofthe Gaza major commerce centers, the report from Israel forces has indicated that Sinwar is hold-up in location in the city. While the population remains high, compared to others in the region, the search for Sinwar takes on added complications.
The Israeli search crew suspects that Sinwar has assumed surreptitious presence in the city , locating in underground trenches. The IDF has indicated that Sinwar is accompanied by commanders of the Hamas and as many as 200 hostages captured by Hamas.
Fighting that transpired in Gaza resulted in raising questions involving the whereabouts of more of the Hamas leaders following the apparent death of one who was killed on Friday by Israeli forces.
