Report: Sinwar Planned to Smuggle Himself and Hostages to Iran

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar planned to smuggle himself, other Hamas leaders, and the remaining Israeli hostages through the Philadelphi Corridor to Sinai and from there to Iran, Jewish media reported on Thursday, September 5, citing intelligence officials.

According to the report, the plan was revealed by a captured senior Hamas official during his interrogation by Israeli security forces, as well as by information obtained from documents seized last week, the same day the six bodies of the murdered hostages were retrieved.

The report notes that the Hamas leader understands that the end of his organization is near and his only way out would be to sneak out of the Gaza Strip and flee to Iran.

For that reason, according to the report, Hamas is insisting on Israel withdrawing from the corridor which runs along the Egyptian border. Earlier on Thursday, the Prime Minister spoke to American media and explained his opposition to relinquishing control over the Philadelphi Corridor.  (INN / VFI News)
