The leader of Hamas's political wing in Gaza and one of Israel's most wanted men, Yahya Sinwar, is not in Rafah, two officials said as Israel moved ahead with its ground offensive in Gaza's southernmost city.
Two officials, citing intelligence inputs, told The Times of Israel that the Hamas leader was hiding in underground tunnels in the Khan Younis area, around five miles north of Rafah.
Another official from Israel said Sinwar was still in Gaza.
In March, it was reported that close relatives of Yahya Sinwar crossed over to Egypt through the Rafah crossing.
Several other top Hamas leaders have also managed to move their relatives and family out of Gaza into safe zones in Egypt.
Israel has called Yahya Sinwar the mastermind behind the October 7, 2023, raid into southern Israel, in which about 1,200 people were killed, and more than 200 others kidnapped.
In a shocking revelation, the Israeli Ministry of Military Affairs reports that over 10,000 Israeli forces have been affected by trauma in the ongoing Gaza conflict. The report highlights severe physical injuries, with 37% of troops suffering from limb trauma and 35% diagnosed with PTSD. Since the war began on October 7 last year, more than 300 Israeli forces have died. This escalation, which began as a response to the al-Aqsa Storm operation by Gazaâs resistance groups, has led to nearly 40,000 Palestinian deaths, predominantly women and children. As Israeli authorities release casualty figures sparingly, questions arise about whether the true cost of the war is being hidden. Hamas demands a ceasefire and the return of captives, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows to continue until Hamas is eliminatedâa goal deemed impossible by many. Explore the impact of this ongoing conflict and the controversy surrounding the reporting of casualties.

Hamas has rejected the final round of negotiations mediated by the U.S., Qatar, and Egypt for a ceasefire and hostage deal, heightening tensions in the Gaza conflict. The rejection undermines efforts by the Biden administration to broker peace. Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader in Gaza, might be planning further resistance or leveraging the situation for better terms, possibly anticipating or coordinating with broader regional actions involving Iran or Hezbollah. This move adds uncertainty to an already volatile situation

The Biden administration has released approximately half of the shipment of heavy bombs that had been withheld from Israel since May, according to a US official speaking to The Times of Israel. The decision to withhold the bombs was initially made due to concerns that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) would use them in densely populated areas of Gaza, potentially causing mass-civilian casualties. In May, the White House announced it would withhold a shipment of 1,800 2,000-pound bombs and 1,700 500-pound bombs. President Joe Biden warned that additional offensive weaponry would be frozen if Israel launched a major military offensive in Rafah, Gaza's southernmost city, where over one million Palestinians were sheltering at the time.

The Israeli military plans to end its operation in Rafah, southern Gaza, soon, shifting to targeted raids and airstrikes. Prime Minister Netanyahu indicates this marks the end of intense fighting, though the war continues. Some Israeli officials express frustration at Hamas's ability to regroup in cleared areas. The change may lead to negotiations with Hezbollah in Lebanon. Questions remain about the effectiveness of this new strategy and its impact on Gaza's humanitarian situation.

In a significant development within the Palestinian Resistance Movement, Hamas, Yahya Sinwar has been appointed as the new leader following the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran on July 31. The announcement was made after days of deliberation by the Hamas shura council, which unanimously elected Sinwar to head the organisation.

The Al-Qassam Brigades have pledged their unwavering allegiance to Sinwar, emphasising their readiness to carry out his directives.

In a tragic development, Sgt. Omer Ginzburg, 19, from the Paratroopers Brigadeâs 101st Battalion, was killed on August 11, 2024, during intense fighting in the southern Gaza Strip. Ginzburg, a resident of Kiryat Tivon, fell victim to a Hamas-claimed Sniper attack in Khan Younis, a city that has recently seen heavy IDF operations. Ginzburgâs death marks a sombre milestone, bringing the total Israeli casualties in the ongoing conflict with Hamas to 332. This toll includes those killed in both Gaza and along the border. The IDF has been actively targeting Hamas positions in Khan Younis after issuing evacuation orders to civilians in the area, aiming to mitigate harm while conducting military operations.
