Israel has said it will not stop the hunt for Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar until he is caught “dead or alive” after releasing footage they claim shows him alive.

The Israelis on Monday night published a video they claim shows the mastermind of the Oct 7 attacks, inside a tunnel beneath Gaza.

“Every resident of Gaza [can now] see how Hamas leaders live underground and how they don’t think about anything other than themselves, their families and their money,”  Daniel Hagari, IDF spokesman, told the Al Arabiya network.

“One video or another is not what really matters. What is important is the intelligence that will allow us to reach senior Hamas officials and the hostages.”

The video, which does not show Sinwar’s face, appears to be his first sighting in Gaza since the terror attacks.
