After the assassination of Nasrallah, does Israel really not know where the Sinwar is?
The Gaza Strip was completely occupied by the Israeli enemy since 1967, and even with the establishment of the Palestinian Authority in 1994, it was a limited self-rule authority without sovereignty.
Hamas' control over the Strip in 2007 did not change the reality of the occupation except slightly, but rather added a siege. During this long period, the borders were open between the Strip and the occupied territories for the entry of goods, workers, and people of all nationalities under strict supervision by the occupation, especially with regard to developing its technological capabilities. Hamas and the resistance factions were developing their military capabilities and announcing the development of their missile capabilities under the enemy's eyes, and they were allowing satellite channels to enter and film the tunnels and military sites. Their leaders were holding press conferences adopting military operations and threatening the enemy with woe and destruction of its state, while Qatari aid and money entered, which prolongs the life of their authority, through Israel and with its approval! During the rule of Hamas, many security breaches were discovered in its ranks, some of them at the leadership levels and ordinary elements, some of whom were executed and others fled to Israel, while Hamas spy cells were discovered for Israel in Turkey and Lebanon.
With all of the above, the war of extermination and cleansing has continued for a year, during which 75% of the buildings and infrastructure were destroyed and about a quarter of a million people were killed, missing, wounded and captured under the pretext of eliminating the leadership of Hamas and its military capabilities and releasing its kidnappers, whose whereabouts it claims it does not know, nor the whereabouts of Al-Shanwar, the leader of Hamas!! As if the movement is a superpower fortified militarily, technologically and economically, and the enemy is unable to eliminate it!
In contrast, Hezbollah, which is the most armed, superior and economically powerful, is present in an open land, has sovereignty and is open to the world, etc., has been penetrated and most of its leaders have been targeted, including Hassan Nasrallah, and its main sites have been destroyed.
If Israel has these technological and intelligence capabilities to penetrate the party and assassinate its most important military leaders, has it been unable throughout a year of war to know the location of Hamas leader Sinwar and the location of the kidnapped Israelis? Or is it lying and knowing his location and the location of the kidnapped but wants a justification to continue a war with strategic goals that go beyond Gaza? Is it a coincidence that these accelerating events coincide with Netanyahu's offer of a deal that includes the exit of Sinwar and the remaining military officials in exchange for the release of the kidnapped Israelis?
