NEW chilling footage appears to show the terrorist leader Yahya Sinwar directing Hamas from the rubble of Gaza before he was killed.
Yahya Sinwar was the bloodthirsty mastermind behind the October 7 attack, and was eliminated by the IDF in October 2024.
This new footage, aired by Al-Jazeera, captures Sinwar at different points throughout the war.
One shot shows him picking his way through the rubble of Gaza with a heavy shawl draped over his head and shoulders to avoid being recognised.
He is clad in a military-style vest, and shakes his finger at the camera.
The word “north” in Hebrew was found written on the wall of the building where he appeared to have been residing, suggesting Israeli soldiers had been there before.
Another scene shows the terrorist leader sitting on the floor studying a map with one of his commanders in an intact living room.
The men trace routes across the fabric map, stabbing their fingers down on certain points in what seems to be a planning session.
The military vest that Sinwar was wearing when he died has been found amongst the rubble.
It sits draped on the chair in which he was slumped as he was shot dead by Israeli troops.
Ashraf Abu Taha, the homeowner of the Gaza residence where the 61-year-old orchestrator of the October 7 attack was eliminated, discovered these grim souvenirs.
A photo of a written document, described as the Hamas order to launch the bloody October 7 attack at 6.30am was also shared by the outlet.
Haunting hand-written notes thought to be the last left by Sinwar also emerged after in the weeks after his death.
The secret documents believed to be his final “will” include instructions for his terrorist disciples on what to do with the hostages.
Scribbled over the pages are instructions that direct Hamas captors guarding the hostages to “take care of the lives of enemy prisoners and secure them”.
The author recognises the live prisoners as “bargaining chips” that would be valuable during peace talks.
The writer also said in the notes that guarding “the enemy’s prisoners” is essential to securing the release of Palestinian prisoners who remain inside Israeli jails.
The documents also contained locations of the hostages still held in Gaza at the time it was written.
On Sunday January 19, hostages began to be released back to their families in Israel after the two sides reached a ceasefire deal.
Three female hostages were freed from the Gaza hell after almost 500 days of imprisonment.
British-Israeli Emily Damari, 28, was released alongside two other women: Romi Gonen, 24, and Doron Steinbrecher, 31.
The three victims were picked up by the International Committee of the Red Cross team from Gaza.
On Friday, Hamas released the names of the next four hostages who will be released.
The young female IDF soldiers will be freed after 477 harrowing days in captivity – but there is still no sign of the two and five year old Bibas brothers.
Karina Ariev, 20, Daniela Gilboa, 20, Naama Levi, 20, and Liri Elbag, 19, have been chosen to be part of the second hostage exchange between Israel and Hamas.
They will be freed in exchange for 180 Palestinian prisoners being held in Israel.
