IDF knows where Hamas leader is, but won't strike at him because of hostages

[Beastly Boy]

Israel appears to know the exact location of Hamas military leader Yahya Sinwar, the ruler of the Gaza Strip and the mastermind of the October 7 terror attacks, according to multiple reports.

However, Sinwar has surrounded himself with a large number of living Israeli hostages, which is preventing the Israel Defense Forces from carrying out a strike on him, Israel Hayom reported Monday.

It followed a similar statement on Kan public radio on Sunday by former Military Intelligence head Amos Yadlin.

1. I feel for IDF. What an incredible amount of stress

they are under minute by minute. It’s very unusual for hostages to be purposefully in harms way when trying to get the bad guys.

2. Sadly, that is why they took hostages. Hamas has no moral code, just an evil ideology.

I wonder if in all the bombing and shelling of tunnels and such hostages have also been killed around command posts and weapons depots that were targeted. Israeli intelligence is good but can only do so much. I feel for the hostages families.
