Sinwar, who fares high up in the list of Israeli targets to be eliminated, has left the comfort of terror tunnels in Gaza to camouflage in the public
Assassinated Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh's successor, Yahya Sinwar, is hiding among Palestinians "dressed as woman", a report in Express has claimed, citing Israeli intelligence sources. Sinwar, who fares high up in the list of Israeli targets to be eliminated, has left the comfort of terror tunnels in Gaza to camouflage in the public. Earlier this month, the Israeli forces came just 'minutes' from capturing and neutralising Sinwar when his lair was raided in a Gaza tunnel.
"We have actually been minutes away more than once. As we have discovered through other elimination operations, Sinwar will not be sitting underground in tunnels or special underground zones for more than 24 to 36 hours at a time," Shalom Ben Hanan, who led three divisions of Israel's security agency, the Shin Bet, was quoted as saying by the outlet.
"He knows we can find such underground locations through advanced technology. So now we are looking for him using technology and human intelligence and believe he is likely to be hiding in plain sight," a senior official added.
For Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, killing Sinwar would help send a message that Hamas' top leadership had been completely wiped out - making it easier for him to end the military campaign in Gaza.

My Take
I thought they are not afraid of death. Why is he hiding, dressing like a woman, running from justice? He should be brave enough to face Israel.
