The IDF’s 14th Reserve Brigade combat team located and destroyed one of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar‘s hiding places in recent weeks, an apartment located in Gaza City, the IDF announced on Friday evening.
An investigation revealed that a tunnel shaft was located on the apartment’s basement floor, where Israeli forces discovered a tunnel that was used by the terror organization.
The apartment is part of a long and branching network of tunnels that were constructed by the terror organization, where senior members moved and operated, an IDF spokesperson said.

The IDF’s Yahalom Unit also found in the tunnel an electrical network, ventilation, sewage infrastructure, and restrooms – all of which were destroyed by the IDF.
They were built so that it was possible to stay inside and conduct terror operations there for long periods.
