Israeli troops on Saturday were hunting a Hamas commander described as Palestine's Osama bin Laden, vowing to find him wherever he was hiding and insisting his days were numbered.
Yahya Sinwar, 60, is the current head of Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
He has been arrested by Israel multiple times and spent 24 years in Israeli prisons: he was freed in 2011, as part of a prisoner swap in exchange for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
Sinwar is being held responsible for the murder of 1,300 Israelis in the October 7 attack. The U.S. death toll rose to 29 on Saturday, with 15 missing, believed to be held hostage inside Gaza.
'Yahya Sinwar is the face of evil,' said Lt. Col. Richard Hecht, a spokesman for the IDF.
'He is the mastermind behind this, like bin Laden was.
'He built his career on murdering Palestinians when he understood they were collaborators. That's how he became known as the butcher of Khan Younis [in southern Gaza].'
Hecht said that Israeli troops would not rest until he was found and killed.
'That man and his whole team are in our sights. We will get to that man,' he said, adding: 'This could be long.'
Sinwar was designated a terrorist by the United States in 2015.

He’s a dead man walking and he knows it too.
“Do our aircraft carriers carry nukes?”
Probably not. Too risky and too much of a sitting duck. But submarines do.
Yep.....his days are numbered...
And you believe Biden?
They used to carry many, then a few, then none. Now beloved to carry some. Carriers make great WSAs btw. I vote yes. Esp. Depth charge.
Have heard these people are inbreds. Maybe it’s true.
The treasonous puke currently occupying the WH and military henchmen demonstrably can’t be trusted with our military. It is obvious that they want it to fail and fail big. These two carrier groups are very likely being set up to fail as well because they will not be given the necessary orders to succeed, just like in Jobama’s Afghan surrender. Imagine, two US aircraft carriers getting sunk.
Biden didn’t say that. I was trying to call attention to the Biden admin’s diplomacy MO of threatening anyone and everyone over everything.
Go for it, in spades.
A rubber dingy wouldn’t get near a US carrier battle group.
That ship isn’t sitting there unprotected. There is no doubt a US Navy attack sub shadowing that carrier group to make sure that doesn’t happen.
Yes.
Tomahawks.
Quite true.
Incest is practiced in the Arab world.
Saddam Hussien’s first wife was his first cousin.
Sometimes I can only smile at the Literalist on this site.
Their first, middle and last inpulse is to come back with ultra knowledge and -superiority.
I wish I was half as smart as they seem to think they are.
